It started cool and then warmed up. I traveled almost 30 miles in Mount Rogers National Recreation area. I crossed the Appalachian Trail Head twice. I rode some crazy mountain hills as always but I had a mountain stream most of the day. Some beautiful cascades and waterfalls too. My last 20 miles were through Hayters Gap ( yes that\u2019s spelled correctly). It was intense for both Jocelynn and myself. At times it was a one lane road and impassable. Met another new friend. Mike. Cycled off and on with the 9 others heading west. It\u2019s like the \u201cgreat migration\u201d of cyclists heading west. My prayer warriors keep on keeping on because God was answering them one after another today. Some dangerous downhills. I am still pinching myself that this is truly happening. This country is so beautiful. On Wednesday my friend Jen Ortman (Facebookless) Todd Ortman. Is joining me through Sunday. Bill and my momma are coming Friday. I can hardly wait. And hopefully Kristy Kimball Massey will be with me soon. Let the adventures begin. Total miles:69.16Elevation gain. 5216 ( some was insanely hard) But I only practiced \u201cwalk a bike\u201d once.  click &#8220;read more&#8221; to see a few photos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.99290%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3850\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/wanderingproject.com\/?attachment_id=3850\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wanderingproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/193616754_3962984043778863_2626546951924237732_n.jpg?fit=960%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"193616754_3962984043778863_2626546951924237732_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Mike just retired.
