8:25 out of the camp ground, beautiful day. Trying to navigate my way south proved to be a confuse mess of back roads that Google map couldn’t get straight. In total I rode 43 miles, seven more than it should have taken me. With my derriere feeling the pain, I arrived at Dave and Lee Ann’s mansion (literally). Taking the elevator to the third floor, Lee Ann got me settled in. A cold beer followed with snacks to tide me over until dinner. What a place, Dave has every toy imaginable, cars, boats, motorcycles, bicycles and plenty more. Retiring as an investment banker ten years ago, he moved to Pungoteague, Virginia where he bought land on the water front, built a palatial estate and started an oyster farm. He and his wife bicycle Europe and motorcycle around north and south America.
Having arrived 14:00, I had time to properly install my new iphone holder and tighten up my seat. Dave was busy remove a wall in the furnace room so Lee Ann and I had a good time talking. After a hot shower and shave, I had access to the washing machine and drier to wash my clothes. Dinner followed which included broiled oysters over the fire pit outside. A delicious dinner followed. We got along very well, very easy people to be with. Tomorrow I ride south to the bridge/tunnel where Dave will meet me, loaded my bike onto his Tesla and take me to the other side. What a great guy he is. I will miss them both.
Richard...I'd had a look at the route south from your previous night and from what I could see there was a maze of roads with no clear route forward to the south...I guess you found on the ground on your two wheeler what I looked at from the comfort of my den and computer. I won't ask you about Dave and Lee's politics but I'm guessing they might have a friend in the Walter Reed hospital under the weather with that pesky virus as I type.
