letter dated 5/21/10, plain paper

Mom
Last night we stayed in KY for the first night at a heritage historical society. They let people camp, serve breakfast [real fruit!], cake, even a shot of moonshine before bed. I think the town was Hindelman, about 60 miles from the KY state line.

It's been raining A LOT here, almost every night. The most noticeable difference between VA and KY are the dogs! Pretty much every house has one and most will chase you down the street. Some of the bike group has pepper spray or use their air pumps to avoid bites. I've found if you just get off your bike and walk, they growl but stay away. Most of the energetic ones are little, anyways.

I will say, I'm looking forward to big hills because that means no dogs will attach you [you don't see any houses on the steep hills].
That's all for now!.
Love, Paul
