We had a good day, thanks to a shorter distance, cooler weather, and somewhat tempered headwinds. Last night we got to experience our first very loud lightning-filled thunderstorm while sleeping in a tent, around 2am. The storm pushed through over about an hour's time, and probably helped cool things down for us today.
We finally made it into Charles City (aka Chucktown) at 2:30pm and were pleased to find Bikeworld had a campsite near the entry into town, instead of the usual spot near the end of the entry route.
We used the extra time today to check out what was going on in Charles City and found this impossible-to-resist photo opportunity of Amy next to a giant statue of a girl reading a book. Notice that Amy's expression is a bit more positive than in the last one. Clearly, it was a better day!
Tomorrow will be the longest day of the week, heading into Waterloo. Luckily the cooler weather should stick around. One day at a time!
