Atlantic Coast: Phase Two Day 6 (Santee to Florence SC)

My legs felt more rested as compared to yesterday morning.  Winds were favorable.

This first picture is from my crossing of Lake Marion on a dedicated pedestrian/bicycling bridge:

I ran across a church with fascinating old-time architecture.  As I took a closer look, I discovered some rich history:

The last picture is some of the many herds of cows.  Cows and horses seem fascinated with touring cyclists.  They stop whatever they are doing and come over to the fence line to say moo or neigh.

I experienced one notable  dog chase, this time as I was climbing a hill.  Without the ability to speed away, I simply talked kindly to the two dogs and they became friendlier.  Nice dogs!

Finally, I encountered a bike trail that was no longer there due to a new industrial development.  The only option I had was to shift my e-map to the car route, which required me to bike through a cemetery.  I’m not a fan of doing this so I said a silent prayer as I passed the gravesites.

Today’s tally: 75 miles
