Anticipation of treats in town make the 7 miles go quickly. Once we’re there we almost feel overwhelmed by everything we need to do – resupply food, fuel, batteries as well some good eating, drinking, and swimming.

A picnic and swim in the lake follows, during which we consume most of a pound of hummus with carrots, pepper, celery, and crackers.
