"THE PESSIMIST SEES DIFFICULTY IN EVERY OPPORTUNITY. THE OPTIMIST SEES OPPORTUNITY IN EVERY DIFFICULTY" (Winston Churchill) We left Monticello heading south east toward Mississippi riding into a quartering to head wind. This promised to make an advertised "easy" day difficult. The area is flat bayou farmland. Rice, soy beans and cotton fields were numerous and large. Unfortunately, at mile 81 after lunch, I hit a small log in the road, crashed and fractured my collar bone. This put and end to my tour. The local hospital, PAC Tour staff and riders have been wonderful friends, helping me get recombobulated. Indianola is located in Sunflower county. It went through three name changes (Indian Bayou, Eureka, and Belengate) before settling on its current name in honor of the Indian princess "Ola". BB King grew up here. So, this will be my last post. I'll miss you! Sweet dreams. Bill
