Labor Day weekend camping trip
Published by admin, under Bicycling. No Comments.
Sarah and I tried an experiment this weekend. We did a camping trip, with a twist. I rode to the campsite, and she met me there with the car. And the next day we went further, me on my bicycle and her driving. It was almost like a supported tour.
We had mixed results. I didn’t plan well enough, and we both had poor to nonexistent cell phone reception, so we had a little trouble connecting in Brownstown, IN. Also, what I intended to be a way for me to get some riding in while allowing us to spend a lot of time together became a little more complicated and bike-centric than I intended. Sarah was very patient and we had a great time together, but in the end it felt a little selfish. If we do something like this again, I’ll need to plan things out a lot better. It was also really hot, which effectively meant that by the time we got anywhere, it was too hot to want to do very much.
I plan to write about this trip in three parts:
- Riding from Bloomington to Brownstown and Jackson-Washington State Forest
- Hiking at Jackson-Washington State Forest
- Riding from Jackson-Washington State Forest to Clark State Forest and Henryville
