The Mississippi

It's crazy that we are heading into mississippi today. Thursday
morning we woke up at the Evan's household And turned on the weather.
A big storm was heading our way so Stephanie made breakfast and we sat
it out. It was quick and powerful, evan breaking the flagpole out
front of the church. But it was all over by 11:30 and we still wanted
to make the 50 miles to Alexandria so we hit the road and had the best
tail wind of the trip. Making the miles role by super quick. Suprising
to me was the rolling hills of western Louisiana. Nothing huge but not
as flat as I had imagined. We went to a bike shop in Alex and then
headed over the river (forgot the name) to Pineville to try and find a
place to eat and camp. We ended up throwing up our tents in the back
of a walgreens, which meant we had an early rise yesterday. With the
early start the 67 miles to the river/border was nice and the eastern
part of the state lived up to my flatness expectations. Today we head
onto the Natchez trace parkway and lots of history.
Want to say good luck to my Crown peeps today with the conference.
It's gonna be great.
Happy Saturday!
