Backtrack Attack!

It all started this morning as we left east Michigan. We slept in a neighborhood yard and I needed to use the restroom. Fortunately we had just passed a park with a bathroom only half a mile back from where we slept. Unfortunately starting a day with a backtrack set a precedence. Memphis was a cute little town with a cute little library. Having just decided to change our route we printed off biking directions thanks to google. We felt alive and wonderful as we meandered through more back country roads until google directed us onto a gravel road. "Seriously, Google, come on!" Really it wasn't too bad. After a nice long 10 mile gravel road ride we discovered that I had directed us in the wrong direction. For some reason Michael let me be the keeper of the directions, not knowing that I regularly confuse my left and right. Devastation set in when I discovered that we had to backtrack. Anyone who knows me knows that I despise backtracking. We had to veer from our Google directions and decided to pick them up later. That proved to be a bit of a challenge, thus the backtrack attack! After our 84 mile journey we figured we only made it about 70 miles in the right direction (My estimate would be lower estimate). The day is definitely ending on a high note because our new friends Kathy, Jack, and their fabulous family of animals hooked us up with a place to stay and a chance to get caught up on blogging. There will be no backtracking tomorrow!
