This morning Beth dropped us off in a town called New Bern, NC, and this was supposed to save us about 30 miles of riding. But Google bike maps messed us up a few times today and the ride ended up being more than 60 miles total. The biggest challenge today was finding the Aurora Ferry to get across the Pimlico River. We finally made it there with about 7 or 8 minutes before the ferry departed.
After crossing the Pimlico River, we thought it would be a very short ride to our hotel but Google maps struck again and it took us about another hour to get to our hotel. Oh well!
Here are today’s photos.
Our first rest stop after 22 miles today.
We’ve been seeing lots of private grave yards on our rides these past few days, like this one.
There is a mine on the other side of the trees in this picture and google bike maps kept trying to send us there, but there was just no way to get there.
