Arrival in Yorktown, VA

Thanks to Jeff and Marie for driving me down here!

After about six hours of driving, we arrived safely in Yorktown. The main area here is actually pretty nice. With the exception of a few confederate-flag-donning locals, the people seem to be inviting and courteous. I'll be spending my first night in an above-garage apartment that one of the residents allows bikers to use for free. It's beautiful, too.




The first day was not without issues, though. While the driving was good, the bike rack held up, and we made decent time, I did discover that I had left my helmet (with headlight) at home, so now I will have to get it shipped ahead for general delivery and go for a couple of days without.

Normally, I would just buy a new one, but everything is closed down here on Sundays, and I can't afford to stall for two days. So, I will ride at daylight and set up camp before the sun sets.


Now for what will probably be my last real shower for two months!
