Worst night ever After crawling in bed to get warm and falling asleep, the rain started coming down about 0100. It wasn’t a pouring rain, as it has been, but a steady, constant rain. In about 20 minutes, the tent started leaking. I quickly put my sleeping bag in its dry bag. It was freezing

Too many! I usually try to memorize the roads I’m supposed to take, but from Alabama to Georgia to South Carolina, there were just too many. My screenshot of Welcome to Alabama. When there’s nowhere to pull over, you improvise! My GPS took me on a billion roads and soon I didn’t even know if
Still doing the thing Exhausted as I was, I slept through the night with no assistance and woke up ready to go. It’s amazing what a night’s rest will do for you. No matter how much rain I got, I was STILL doing this thing! Another room I had reached out to bunk a bikers
