Day 30 Alexandria to New London

This day 30 out of 60. We're half way in days, but we're still 223 miles short of our half way point.

After a nice stay at the local Hampton Inn (thanks to a generous YFC couple) we set out for New London. But not before we watched thunderstorms roll through the area. The down pour lasted for 10-15 minutes, the lightening came and went. And then...just gray cloudy skies.

So off we went...south out of Alexandria. Then we turned southeast.

The winds were really wild. Not only were they strong, but they started in the East, went to the southeast, moved to the northeast, gave us a nice pushed from the west and then beat us back as they turned back east as we made our final push to New London.

The clouds, which some might have thought ominous, were beautiful.



Distance: 55 miles

Overall distance: 1927 (still closing in on the half way mark).
