Again, as planned, Martha took me to Hickory from Morganton early this morning to the Highland Recreation Center in Hickory. I loaded my two bags on the truck for delivery in Mooresville where they should be waiting for me when I arrive. I would be camping the rest of the trip into Ocean Isle. I tried to camp as close as possible to the trucks so I wouldn't have to carry my bags very far; I'm learning. Believe it or not we had a day of sunshine and the temperatures in the 70s. A great day for riding. Took a few pictures today since the sun was out and dry for a change.
We were now and continue to be in the long rolling hills of the Piedmont of North Carolina. We did have our first rest-stop at Murray's Mill coming out of Hickory and Catawba county. We also stopped at Lake Norman State Park for the second rest-stop. And then on into Mooresville and to Lowe's YMCA.
