Sunday – Homeward

My eyes flew open at 6:30 and there was no coaxing the body back to sleep.  I got dressed and began the typical routine of packing the clothes, stuffing the sleeping bag and rolling the therm-a-rest.  All before leaving the tent.

Still full from the meals yesterday I had no desire for breakfast, no matter how inviting the bacon and sausage from the youth group next to me smelled.  I fired up the coffee and slurped down a container of peaches.

The sun was just cresting the hills on the north side of the campground and the sky had hints of blue trying to break out from the gray/white cloud cover.  I spent a few minutes on the netbook laying down the route home.  I wasn’t looking for anything that adventurous today.  I like getting back to the house with plenty of time to unwind.

I caught up with George, payed my bill and discussed the group sites.  Phoenicia Black Bear Campground might be a good location for an IBMC campout. 

I finished loading the bike and hit the road. Zena (my Warrior GPS) told me I’d be home by 12:13.  Perfect. 

Total for the weekend – 536 miles.  The pic below shows the elevation changes for the entire route, roundtrip.
