Day One Hundred Twenty-Five

Crossbearer's Log:
Today started out bad, bright and early at 5:40 A.M. with high humidity and no breeze. I was literally swarmed by mosquitoes for the first 3.5 miles.
After those 3.5 miles, a breeze came up and it stayed cooler. The scenery started changing as well as trees and shade appeared on Highway 20, keeping me cooler. I reached Fort Robinson where we stopped to eat at their restaurant, spent time looking around the fort, and visited the horses on my sister's request (her son, my Godson, works with the horses and carriages at Colonial Williamsburg).
In 1948, when the military abandoned Fort Robinson, they allowed locals to disassemble the wooden stables. We found out that the Sage Motel we were staying in in Harrison was built out of the rough cut lumber from the stables in Fort Robinson.
Will begin tomorrow at mile marker 43.
Today's Distance: 20 miles
Total Distance: 1037.1 miles
