SAMMYRIDES DAILY BLOG APRIL 23, 2011

Today was basically uneventful, except for the biking the riders did from Carrabelle to Wakulla Springs, Florida.  Along the route,  there was beautiful scenery to soak in while taking a quick break off the side of the road.  

Wakulla is known for its long underwater caves, reaching well over a mile. It brings in scuba divers from all over the world who come to explore the beauty of underwater life.  The riders met several divers along their bike route today,  and spent a few minutes chatting with them to learn more about the area that is so fascinating to the many tourists who visit here.
With the finish line now being just a week away, the excitement is building up for each of the four riders.  The itch to get home to their families and friends is within reach and the realization that it's right around the corner, seems, in many ways, unbelievable!   2400 miles!!!
The riders are staying at the Wakulla Springs Lodge.  Its accommodations are very nice but with one exception....no internet service!  Something one gets so used to, and when it's not available, you feel somewhat shut off from the world.
Tomorrow they leave Wakulla and head to Perry, Florida....
From Wakulla, Michael, Adolf, Mike B. and John, send their love and best wishes to you all......     From Lois
