This morning, my chain was totally stuck in dirt and since my bottle of chain lube all ran out, I had to replace it.
After a few miles heavy rain set in and luckily an older couple from Nebraska envited me for lunch into their RV. They gave me a lot of great food and I went back onto the road with a full stomack.
In the evening I cycled into a big thunderstorm and had a very hard time to build up my tent because the winds were so strong. Now it's only 50 miles left to go.
