Ga. Fl. border to Tarboro, Ga

Today was by far the most difficult day we've had. Didn't I say that
yesterday?  Head winds up to 25mph and yes, it was direct head wind.  We
had to fight for every mile.

We rode through an area just east of Okefenokee Swamp.  It was miles
and miles of beautiful marsh land. 
There are hundreds of acres of tree farms down here.  I suppose Ga.
Pacific owns most of them. 

Our plan was to ride to Atkinson but the wind slowed us down so here we
are in Tarboro.  We stopped at a local store and asked if we could
camp.  The owner said the land is yours.  Roy is his name and couldn't be
nicer.  I love small towns like this.  Life seems to run at a different
pace.   Bonus, for breakfast, they sell fried bologna and egg samwich. 
Yummy(sorry Sus), its sounds too good to pass up.

The winds are suppose to dissipate tomorrow so we are very much
looking forward to that. 

Good night

Jin, Glenn, Josh
1 mile at a time...
