Thursday evening

cycled 62 miles

I am camping at the Bethel campsite (owned and run by the brethren) just before a place called Troutville. Have been having my evening meal- I obtained most of the ingredients  from the organic shop in Buchanan. Watching the deer come out of the woods. I am the only person camping, but there are people staying in some of the cabins.
     On the way here the road was still flooded in places after the heavy rain, but tonight, so far, it is dry. It is now dark and all the night sounds are of insects making a noise. Plus there is a lot of water flowing down the stream .It is very peaceful.
