Day 54 - Monticello to Suwannee Valley Conservation Area

Well we were going to skip Monticello and cut a couple of miles off our route today, but I missed our turn. Oops, I suspect we all wanted to check out Monticello anyway.

From there it was an easy ride down US90 to Greenville where I once again tried the gas station sausage and biscuit. Just okay, hard to beat that one from the other day.

Food was a problem today. We reached Madison to early for lunch, but it looked like there might not be anything down the road for a while. Jerry picked up some dried sausage and bread, just in case, and we set off for Lee with high hopes. Nothing there, good thing Jerry thought ahead, but I was starved by the time we finished.

Not much to see today, except the Suwannee River which popped into view out of the trees. The river was surprisingly black. Very striking. Then we were back into the trees.

We camped, for our last time, at the Lee's Country Campground, which was very nice, and clean, cleaner than some of the motels we've been in recently and located on the edge of the Suwannee Valley Conservation Area.

One note on happenings back home: The San Francisco Randonneurs are running their Fort Bragg 600k this weekend so if you're in Napa or Sonoma County this weekend keep an eye out for sleepy Randonneurs, they'll start at 5:00 AM on Saturday and will be out on the roads until 9:00 PM Sunday. Give them a word if encouragement if you see them and please pass carefully if you're driving. Tom will be among them, ride safe Tom.

Bon Route, Randonneurs et Randonneuses.
