The morning was wet because of dew.
Oil pumps started to show up. More sunflowers. Saw roadrunner the first time. It ran exactly as in Looney Tunes.
When I stopped on the roadside resting and refueling, waiving at cars/trucks passing me. Some of them stopped, turned around and came back to check if I was ok. This warmed my heart to know that when I was in trouble, I wouldn’t be alone. I have known two bikers who got rescued these past days. One passed me on a truck that carried his bike and stopped to chat with me. The other was Peter. He got another flat late in a day and was lifted to a town where he made a hotel reservation.
Thunderstorms were seen at the distance. They stayed away from me.
I thought I would be the only one camping in the city campground of a small town New Salem. There were RVs and car campers. Camping is such a popular option for summer vacations.
