October 9, 2010 - Buckhorn Lake to Breaks Interstate Park

After three substantial climbs this morning we ended up riding onlya little more than 20 miles as the route started getting dangerous.  We decided to ride ahead a day in the motorhome as the roads were extremely curvy, hilly, and with a fair amount of traffic - not a good combination for bikers!  We ended up at Breaks Interstate Park on the Virginia side.  The park is operated by both Kentucky and Virginia and is the location of the "Grand Canyon of the South".

It is hard to believe that we are already in Virginia, the last state of our "adventure".  We have gone through 10 states:  Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and now Virginia.  We have met some wonderful people, had lots of laughs, and seen spectacular scenery.  I know my legs are stronger than they have ever been and I am probably at my thinnest since high school.  We have had great weather (may get a bit of rain later this week, but so far we have had none!).  Life is good!
