Day 4 and 5, Butler Alabama day off


We arrived without mishap into Butler and promptly checked into the Western Inn were Andy was waiting. Andy has taken to riding on ahead and checking things out. I was going to tie an old tire behind his bike as a drag to slow him down, but this situation works out well enough!

Today we'll spend doing laundry and generally bumming around. There is no internet access open due to Memorial day, so this post will be entered later. We are also going to do a bit of bike maintenance and tuning to make sure everything is running smoothly and safely.

One cool note is that as we entered Butler, a man in a red pickup flagged us down and handed April a Powerade, and told her that he had seen us pulling out the previous morning and that we were doing great! Nice to have made some fans along the way.

On the down side, we are TOTALLY in a blank area as far as cell phone reception is concerned. We literally have the no service message and thats it... fortunately we've all got calling cards and can stop at a pay phone from time to time. However with the advent of cellular service, pay phones are somewhat scarce!

Tomorrow its on to York.
