Since today is Sunday and I planned to visit a cemetery at about mile 35 I decided to leave a bit late in the morning so I would arrive at the church after service had finished. I rolled up around 1:30 or so and it was deserted. found my Great Great Grandparents after a few minutes, took a few pics and got going.
I have been absolutely ravenous on this trip, just can't seem to buy enough food to last me more than a day. I'll get what seems like too much but then I blow through it in only a day. I stopped at the larger than normal Dollar General in Ila, and felt good after getting some more fuel on board.
Soon after I arrived at a small family cemetery next to the road and not far from someone's yard. There were about 20 well maintained graves there. The two in the back are my Great Great Great Grandparents. I took pics of all the headstones although most were pretty faded and hard to read.
The day was sunny but with a bit of crisp in the air and it was lovely weather for riding. I passed endless huge pasture fields and countless chicken houses, more numerous around these parts than the people houses. I pressed on not really knowing where to camp, I figured I would improvise. I passed a couple churches that had evening service, kept going. Finally I arrived at a tiny but well kept church with a small cemetery, cold well water and decided to eat a little something while waiting to see if anyone arrived for evening church. I will probably set up around dark just to be sure but I think it will be ok.
