Wow, 3600? A roofing nail got my rear tire last week after ~800 miles. If there are better socks than Darn Tough 1/4 cushion I haven't found them. Hope your week of no traffic goes great!
 
I am enjoying your photos and narrative. But I just gotta ask - how are you continuing to post if you‘ve deleted yourself? That’s the first time I’ve seen that. I actually hope you haven’t done so, as I said, enjoying this thread.

View attachment 56799Best part if the Trail, but if you stop too long the mosquitos get you.

View attachment 56801Àpparently the biggest Katy detour is to avoid walking over 2 inches of water...let's just say I did not detour.

Tomorrow I finish the Trail and start on a new one. So far all the city parks have had free legal camping. Though the locals can be backwards and annoying.

View attachment 56917The hole in the tire finally came and I was glad to be in a hotel to change them out. First time riding "skinny" road tires on my 26 inch steel mountain bike. Curious to see how it rolls as I head into the Wisconsin national forest of the north.

Yeah, spent the night there. That coastal Oak leaf Trail reminded me of the west coast a lot.

I live near the Oak Leaf Trail! I wished I knew ahead of time you were coming this way, we could of met! Maybe next time! You're probably way up north by now! I'll be in La Crosse, Wisconsin next week.

Awesome Pics! Keep them coming! Damn I wish I was traveling with you!!! Maybe next time!!! That's nice about the saddle, can't beat that at all!!! Thank you for sharing as always!!!
 
Great photos, and good advice on the extra tires.. I am sure it's been more difficult lately as supply of everything seems to be difficult.
