8/31/17

Back on the road I find the road going to dirt.  When I hit pavement again it is nice.  Then the route ends up on a two track road.  Bike goes down once in a sand trap.  More dogs chasing me.  When I finally hit pavement again I stay on it even when the route turns on a graded dirt road.  At Merkine I camp just across the river at a free site.  With the headwind and sand my arm and knees are beat.  Sleep comes easy.
Love and kisses

This bumpy thing is a European bike route. 
I tour Vilnius in the morning.  Then ride the Trakai castle.  There is a lot of zigging and zagging to stay off the main highway.  Still a good bit of traffic on the back roads. I head south from the castle and end up on some small dirt roads.  The camp shown on the GPS does not seem to be having guest but I am able to stay for free.


Love and kisses

Long day riding and ending in Vilnius.  Dogs are taking a liking to chase me on the bike.  I have not had to feed any boot, but some are getting close.  Cant get pictures as I am riding hard to stay ahead of the beasts.
Love and kisses

I think he is doing the macarena
Woke light head and felt a little dizzy every time I move my head.  So started riding at noon and felt better over time.  Just was tired.  Keep seeing carved poles and many are crosses.  It reminds me of the end of Spartacus as the Romans lined the road with the rebellious slaves.  I camp before dark.  Another free park camp next to a lake and just me in the campground.  I can hear the fish jump in the quiet.
Love and kisses
