51 miles
I forgot all the rules for mood improvement while bike touring: eat carbs, drink coffee, clean chain, pump up tires, eat carbs.
I woke up still in a foul mood from taking the wrong way. Then I remembered to eat drink and clean my bike, and after I did that I realized it doesn't matter if I get lost because I have all summer and getting lost just means you have a chance to see something unexpected.
3000 mile landmark! Hooray for me!
And so I guess it all worked out because the timing worked out where I hit 3000 miles right as I approached this nice little lake, where I got to celebrate with a pb and j and banana sandwich. So hooray for me! A sign claims that Lake Kalamath is the biggest freshwater lake west of the great lakes. I looked it up and there are tons of other freshwater lakes bigger than it. Not sure what they're talking about.
If I hadn't taken a "wrong" turn, I also would not have ended up at this splendid little lake that they call Lake of the Woods.
Afraid of running out of water again, I ate dinner here, camped on the opposite side of the road in the wilderness, and then came back in for breakfast in the morning.
Just looked at my computer today and it read 2255. Guess you passed my mileage in 50 days. Took me 2 years to get to 2000!
