Day 136: Glendale, KY

The heat and humidity is back.  Or at least the humidity is back, up around 75% or better.  Alea's 48 miles were predominantly uphill, with one particularly steep climb out of the Rough River Valley.  We were grateful to be passing through Rough River early in the week, as it is virtually certain that riding through the area on a Friday would have been very challenging.  The area has hundreds of campsites, several marinas and narrow roads with no shoulders.

We get all shiny on days like this!

But we are back on mostly rural roads, cutting wide arcs to avoid the bigger cities in the area.  Alea's ride ended at Sonora, KY, just past where we will eventually head south past Mammoth Cave, Nashville and on to the Natchez Trace.

We camped for the night at Glendale Campground ($28, power, water and adjustable showers).  Aside from having the sites crammed way too close together, it was a decent private campground.  The bathrooms had AC, though it was set at a fairly high temperature.
