Day 17, Ski Season!

Today started great, middled monotonously, and ended far better than
we could have expected. Had breakfast (buffet! Means ALL YOU CAN EAT
so the holiday inn lost money on us today) with Stephanie's aunt and
uncle who then kindly took our stuff via car to our destination this
evening-woohoo to less weight! A big thank you to them and then we saw
them on the road a bit later to brighten our day.

The middle of our day went something like this: Corn, corn. Soybean,
corn, headwind. Headwind sneeze sneeze (Stephanie is allergic to
indiana apparently) corn corn soybean. Headwind, headwind, corn.
Headwind.

The lack of services forced us to go foraging for food in the
soybeans, although actually it was just wading through poison ivy and
soybeans on foot in order to get to a grocery mart that would have
been much, much easier to bike to, but where's the adventure in that?

In camp 80 miles and many headwinds later, our new friend Bart took us
waterskiing with another guy Thomas on the huge Mississinewa Reservoir
at sunset. Beers and skis! Its like winter but without the snow!

You just gotta dig (heh heh) the gardening references that only a mother could love. . . . You both are AWESOME! I am sending lots of love and hugs (and tailwinds) your way.
