We had a change in the weather
overnight! Yesterday was unbearable, and
this morning was so cool and beautiful, 76 degrees. Wow what a relief! After a quick breakfast which I made with the
items in the refrigerator, we were back on the Trace. The temperature was wonderful however there
was more and more cloud cover the farther north we went and the clouds were
getting very heavy! After we crossed the
Tennessee River it began raining, so we pulled into a pull-off by the river and
waited for 2 hours until the rain passed.
By then the temperature was down to 72.
We ate an early lunch so Cal could get on the road. He then rode till 4:00 – the latest he has
been on the road for this trip. By then
the temp was up to 86, but it was still comfortable. He did
not get as far on the Trace as he had hoped for our overnight reservation. We just simply drove to where we needed to
be.

We are at a farm-stay B&B. The gal had a new studio (art) built out on a
farm that has been in the family for at least 3 generations, and she added
space for 3 B & B rooms. She just
opened in February of 2013 - Buffalo River B&B. The cattle with their calves are just across
the fence! In fact two parties have
driven in this afternoon/evening to tell her that a cow in on the road. It happens to not be hers, but a neighbor’s,
whose fences need repairing.
Today we crossed into the State of
Tennessee. As you can see from the
photos I hiked by some streams of water.

Tonight after dinner in Mt Pleasant,
TN we returned to the B&B and sat on the porch to watch the sun set. This B&B is so lovely and
comfortable.
