Day 41 DeFuniak to Mariana, Fl.

Well after you have been living vicariously thru our blogs. I hate to tell you that we had quite an uneventful day. We came out of our Motel and onto Hwy 90 and rode it all the way to Mariana. Surprised to see Christmas tree farms and Tree Farms for the logging industry. In Florida, surprising !!! Lola and I commented that this was the first time we have ridden a straight road. Little rollers, climbed about 1500 ft. We usually go to little roads that take us in the same direction. Without being on a major road. I imagine tomorrow will pretty much be the same way.

We got a little rain on us coming into Mariana. It felt great. Today was really hot... Thanks for the encouragement to all of you. We are counting down our days left on this journey...

We met a fellow that is out doing the same ride. He started around the same time we did in
San Diego. He's alone, his buddy became severly dehydreated thru the Texas Mountain Range area. Had to go home and has not yet recovered. We keep asking him to join us. But he is sooo intimidated with us that he is now avoiding us. Go Figure!!! Sooo, thanks to Joe who is meeting up with us every 10 miles after the first 15 miles. He fills us up with ice and cold drinks. We are so thankful for that. It keeps us hydrated and cool. We had another wonderful picnic . Joe found a park with benches and lots of shady trees . I made our daily ration of guacamole. And we had our lunch under the shade.

Tailwinds,

Malena
