Where I am RIGHT NOW...

...is Hindman KY, which we got to via a 70 mile ride from Breaks park
(see lovely approach photo immediately mbelow) including 5 count 'em 5
MAJOR uphills. A (the?) highlight of the ride was that we FINALLY GOT
OUT OF VIRGINIA--woo-hooooo (see 2nd photo for proof). 1st impression
of KY -- lots of dogs on the loose (no fun for bikers), and a couple
of yokels who yelled at me to "get off the f-ing road!"

Actually there were a couple other positive highlights, each of which
was related to bad weather -- major rain. I was chugging along in
Raven KY (don't bother trying to find it on a road map, is my guess)
when the sky in front of me got really black and thundery. I was
tired and thirsty and hungry and ready for a break anyway, so I
started looking for shelter and noticed a lady heading back to her
house from the mailbox. (Attles was the name on the box, but I never
got her first name.). I asked her if I could sit out the rain on her
porch, and eat my lunch, and she invited me right up
