A cold and windy start, winter gloves kind of cold. The NE wind didn’t help today as I was riding east. Indiana doesn’t look very different. I’m not exactly sure where or when I crossed the state line.
Eighty miles of riding brought me to Buffalo, IN. I rode off course for three mile to setup camp in the Tall Oaks Campground. The time zone changed from CST to EST when I crossed into Indiana so it was 6:00 PM when I arrived.
I set up the tent and then cooked dinner. It was dark when I finished eating and cleaning up. I went to bed on the riverbank with the rain fly open to see the river in the moonlight. The temperature kept dropping but I was warmly snuggled in my sleeping bag.
I woke at 6:00 AM to find that it was still dark, the west end of the time zone stays dark until 7. The sun lite the sky at 8:00 and I was ready to ride.
