The storm clouds continued to glide overhead all night, but today was dry, and the sky cleared beautifully in the afternoon.  I took time to repack my troublesome bearings this morning -- caught them before they rusted this time.

I rode right through the middle of Richmond, Virginia, because I couldn't find a good way to go around it.  I probably should have given the town more than a passing glance, but I didn't know where to start.

I stopped at a campground right next to the Interstate and was tempted to keep riding in search of someplace quieter, but the price couldn't be beat, so I stayed.  The state park last night was $23; I'll wear earplugs if it means I can camp for $8 a night instead!
