day 29

27 June 2008



Last night it rained like crazy. The playground at the park was a lake, the ball park was completely flooded, as well as all the streams we saw along the way. We passed a farm where the lane to the road was completely covered in water. We also saw a bunch of cows that were stranded on an island surrounded by flood waters. At a couple of different places on the route the water was just inches below the level of the road. We were very fortunate that none of our roads were flooded.

We though it might rain on us while we were riding, but it cleared up. We rode 89 miles to Walnut. The city park in Walnut had no water (it had restrooms, but the water was shut off). We had to drive off route to Crawford State Park. We are staying next to a reservoir. It's really a nice camp site. And it has showers! The weather says we may get another big storm tonight.
