We have spent the entire day catching up on our blogs and getting the picture gallery sorted out. We still have a ways to go on that, as we have several hundred+ pictures to sort through, from two different cameras. We need to choose the best ones, give them captions, and organize them by date. It’s a big job! We then need to upload all our photos to the Google Picasa web gallery (we got accepted into their beta test which just started a few days ago). Evelyn can grab them from there and put them on our website. Bear with us while we catch up to ourselves on this one. I have referred in several places to the gallery of photos, but we haven’t gotten there quite yet. Give us a day or so, still.
We are prepping tonight for our ride again tomorrow. We hope to be in either Wade MS or Vancleave MS, depending on riding conditions. Because of the overwhelming heat, Chelsea and I have agreed to stop riding by 11 or 11:30 each day. That should go a long ways towards helping us recover faster, and it will get us more time to write and sort photos. We are wanting to get up at 5 and start riding sat 5:30 a.m., but that’s pretty hard to do when we get to bed at midnight.
We are going to take a couple of days to get through this part of Mississippi, and then we will be in Louisiana. We will take side trips to see New Orleans and Baton Rouge. We found out that Baton Rouge has a Whole Foods!! And tomorrow we will be camping for the first time!
