Day 156: Goshen Springs Campground, MS

The nearest campground was a fair distance down the road, so Alea and I once again shared the riding.  And it was forecast to once again be hot and humid, so we were on the road before 7 am.  We finished just after noon, covering the 81 miles in three parts: I rode the first 28 miles, Alea rode the next 31 miles and I did the final 22 miles.

We are camping at Goshen Springs Campground ($22.66, power, water, adjustable showers and free wi-fi), located on Ross Barnett Reservoir, just north of Jackson, MS.  We camped here last fall, and  liked it well enough, plus there aren't any other choices that are any better.  They have inexpensive laundry, so we took advantage of that.  A couple days ago Lana threw up a bunch of bile not long before we were to get up in the morning (we are hoping it was caused by something she found and ate at one of the campgrounds we've stayed at).  It soaked into our duvet cover and our goose down comforter and was fairly noxiously pungent, so we were very anxious to get those washed.  Unfortunately, the down comforter (which we had washed just last week) was a casualty, spewing feathers everywhere.

Tomorrow will be a short mileage day, as we will stop in Jackson, MS to get our bikes worked on.
