I slept pretty well last night. Glenn must have had a bad night because when he woke us all up early he said it was because he couldn’t sleep. I was already up though, because I had to get up 3 times during the night. Shouldn’t have had so many glasses of tea! So we packed up and threw our bags into the truck and coasted out of town. We missed the meeting the previous evening and didn’t know about any arrangements for breakfast, so we didn’t know where to go for breakfast, so we stopped at McDonald’s for a poor, but adequate breakfast.
There were quite a few hills today, bur not as bad as yesterday’s trip through the mountains. We saw another armadillo clutching a beer bottle. In a nice little café in one small town along the way, they offered free drinks for all Freewheelers. Really nice folks. Paul had an omelet as a second breakfast. I left a tip since the drinks were free.
There were lots of rest stops today, but they were in weird places and at weird distances. We rode several miles off the route so we could stop at the camping area at Eufaula Lake. Later we crossed the dam. The lake was beautiful.
A redneck gave us the finger because we caused him to slow down on a hill. What a moron. Later we rode a LONG downhill … I can report that reaching 40+ mph is quite thrilling. I heard that one guy crashed on the downhill, bending his wheel and cracking his helmet. He went to the hospital via ambulance, but apparently is ok.
Tomorrow should be another hilly ride into Tahlequah.

You guys should all have a reunion so that you can talk about scabs and sore muscles and stuff.
