A rock that has been used to measure flood levels for the past hundred years
Our humble abode for the night
The majority of the day was just riding. There wasn't a whole lot of food options, which is always a drag. One of the most traumatizing things we've experienced on our trip is SNAKES! I hate snakes! These long black creepers slither along the trail trying to soak up the sunlight. I actually ran over a snake in Virginia, and had to get off my bike so I could vomit. Along the trail we have seen probably over a dozen snakes, none of whom we want to be friends with. There have also been turtles, rabbits, and other wildlife.
So far the Katy Trail has been a nice diversion, although the riding has been a lot rougher than we expected. The surface is dirt and gravel, which has made it challenging to ride. There hasn't been any "smooth" riding and the vibration numbs our hands. But it has been fairly flat so I'll limit the complaining.

Snakes?! I bet Diane was pitching a fit! Rightly so!

This is my favorite line of your entire blog so far. :)
