From the arid plains, back into the forest, onward we rode. The transition was almost seamless, moving from one landscape into the next. The ride wasn't too difficult, having a few hills and our bodies finally were conditioned enough to ride over them at a respectable pace.
Two rather bland campgrounds were passed before we arrived at our destination. The moment we rode into the campground I was glad we passed them up. This was one of the most beautiful campsites we have had the opportunity to make into our temporary home in on this trip.
Waves of comfort and relief washed over me when I saw that we'd be camping under tall pines and right next to a babbling river. We ate, built a fire from the abundance of dry wood around camp, and went to bed.
