In the morning I stopped back at Captain Jack’s to drop off receipts and a newsletter for Tom and Barb and to have a follow-up breakfast to complete the mingy one I had at camp.
As we rode along we saw no more orchards. The area seemed a lot more depressed economically with no visible source of support. So the houses seemed a lot more run-down. There was certainly a great deal more forest and fewer houses.
I had made a plan to stop at a Laundromat in Wolcott to make sure I could get laundry done. There is never a guarantee that a campground will have that equipment. There was a friendly lady there who gave me some detergent and a dryer sheet so I could do a proper load. She did first ask “Is this a one-time thing?” Once she realized I was a cyclist, she happily contributed.
