We left our camp at the Baptist church in Vesuvius and pedaled 18 miles to Lexington for breakfast, Rain was coming so we stopped at the local library to gear up and charge up. We arrived at our Warm Showers stay in Natural Bridges 21 miles later very wet, but in good spirits. Our hosts Michael and Wendy have a big home they built themselves on 250 acres that they share with their parents and brother. We had the basement area (along with a lot of stuff) all to ourselves and their adopted daughter, Nellie and an exchange student from Morocco, Selma, made us a great chicken and stir-fry dinner. The people along the way have added so much to our trip. Michael and Wendy's stories of adopting 2 children, running 2 businesses and farmiing 250 acres are so memorable. They have 30 head of cattle and they grow the 300 bales of hay it takes to feed the cows. We felt honored to share time with them.
