I didn’t know I married someone so excited about tractors. We stopped at an event with a flea market, crafts, and a tractor display. There were other various antique engines/machines like one to saw wood into shingles, and one set up to grind and sort corn. We watched the tractor parade but didn’t get to see the tractor pulls. We bought homemade ice cream, cookies, and jam. Don’t worry if you feel like you missed out because Mac took lots of pictures. I don’t think we’ll have a big enough yard to use a tractor but we will have a garage…..
I’m sitting outside the grocery store while Mac shops. I just saw a horse and buggy go through the parking lot. We’ve seen some farms with horses and buggies and many people dressed in Amish clothing.
Our averages for 9 days of bicycle travelling: 39 miles per day and $46 per day for food, lodging, personal items, and entertainment (not including equipment). Before we started, our goal was to ride 40 miles per day and spend less than $50 per day. Maybe our goal should be to ride a mile for every dollar we spend.
We’ve been eating really well, and lots of it. Staples include oats, rice, lentils, parsley, dried fruit, eggs, yogurt, pancake mix, nuts, juice, bread, cheese, jam, peanut butter and cookies. We buy fresh veggies and fruit when possible. Sometimes we have bacon or ground beef. We often have ice cream and/or chocolate milk at rest stops. Hard to believe all that will fit on the bike. Today Mac got a little carried away at the store and we had to lash on a box of graham crackers and a bottle of juice to the back of the bike. I don’t know how many pounds we are carrying.
