Well I really wish my tent had air conditioning as this is the most uncomfortable weather to date. It cooled down a bit during the night but still very muggy. Left camp just after 7.00 am, numerous grey squirrels about, scampering up trees, at the roadside, quite unafraid. By 8.30 am it was very hot but as long as I keep moving I can cope. There was no shelter from trees etc as our journey was mostly on busy roads between towns. At least there were plenty of convenience stores to pop into and cool down. Some of the locals were complaining about the heat which actually made me feel better. Jon said it was 95 deg, our hottest and most humid day yet. Over the past week, I have noticed that I have started to lose weight. Probably something to do with cutting back on the pancakes so first stop was a Waffle House. I had a delicious waffle with grits, didn't like the grits, just a corn gruel made with water. I had heard it mentioned a lot so wanted to try it. It was an uneventful cycle, just felt I wanted to arrive and get out the sun. We are staying at Juniper Lake Camp Site tonight, so once again, now night has fallen the wild life are in full voice. There are huge bass and turtles in the lake and we watched the owner giving them their daily feed. Day off tomorrow which is nice, our last rest day of the trip. We are all, bikes and cyclists beginning to suffer a bit wear and tear but I suppose that is to be expected after 7 weeks constant cycling .....don't care....am still loving it....
