Cedartown to Alabama and back . . . and then to Rockmart
We cruised through Cedartown and headed west on a remarkably straight and level stretch of the Silver Comet Trail. Destination: the Alabama-Georgia border.
OK, so here it is: the end of the Silver Comet Trail and the beginning of the Chief Ladiga Trail. If you are not overwhelmed, I understand—but we were happy to be there.
Why women are smarter than men
Please note that my bicycle is carrying the overnight gear—not just for me, but for Joan!
A new team member
My friend Will called from his home in Cedartown and said he would meet us somewhere along the trail.
This is another one of those phony Photoshop pictures combining two pictures into one. If I had not been so tired, I’d have removed my foreground shadow.
The return to Mt. Trashmore
We awakened to a cold morning with strong winds from the east. Every map we looked at told us we had to go east if we were to get back home.
And east meant that garbage-dump dune, Mt. Trashmore. It was a bit easier sneaking up on it from behind, but my feeling is that I never want to see it again.
Just for the record, this profile view shows the elevations along the route. They are up-scaled for clarity, but it does show how this hill relates to remainder of the route.
