Yesterday we met a group of college age bicyclists at the crest of a hill. We got a big “Welcome to China!” from them. Unfortunately our video failed so we will just have to relive it in our memories. They all spoke a fair amount of English and they shared some little nectarines with us. A few miles later we met Spencer, a bicyclist ftom Vancouver BC. He was on his way to Ancient Dali from Kunming.
At around 6:00pm we found ourselves 10 miles in either direction from a hotel so we began our search for a suitable camping spot.This can be a real challenge because most houses have angry dogs chained up out front and if there is a flat patch of dirt anywhere they are gardently on it and if they aren’t growing something on it, it is a garbage dump. Hence, Doug and I wound up camping on a little rise among some eucalyptus saplings. The expressway was behind and above us and route 320 was at our feet. We we’re up and at em by 7:00 and got in 6 miles before we stopped to eat.
