Day 50 Harbeson, De to Rehoboth Beach, De
Day 50 Harbeson, De to Rehoboth Beach, De 17 miles. My morning started out with a great breakfast from my Warmshower host Brad. His wife Ann wanted to lead me on the trails to Rehoboth Beach. She was good company along the ride. A lot of people on the trail greeted her by name. Ann pointed out the back yard of skeletons . It reminded me of a similar scene in Gillette, Wy. She broke off about a mile to the beach to go visit her mother. As I was just getting to the end of the road three cyclists asked me how far I had come from. When I told them I was just now completing my ride across the country they volunteered to help get me and my bicycle to the water for pictures. I had a yummy coffee then enjoyed walking on the boardwalk. I locked my bike and walked along the waters edge for quite a ways. It was nice to feel the waves crash against my legs. I had lunch and a couple of beers at Claws Seafood House waiting for David to pick me up. When Dave got to Rehoboth we walked back to the beach to get his feet wet. On our way back to the car we stopped at Kilwin's for ice cream. I told them it was me celebratory ice cream cone after riding across America. They gave us the cones for free, Thanks! Back across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, I'm not sure why it scares people to cross the bridge. After riding 3650 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean I'm now back at his house in Vienna planning my visit to Washington DC.
Congratulations! You did it! Great pictures to add to your album. Audrey
