Houston, we have a problem. 5-10



Lazy morning at the tru - eating, lazing, not working - then off to explore tupelo. Some of us snagged the Senior discount at the Elvis museum (a bike trip first). Saw where he was born, in a $180 2 room house (and his dad went to prison for writing a bum mortgage payment check), took a nap during the church service, and checked out the museum and learned of his jewish ancestor. Really well put together! Lunch and a powernap then back on the trace. Jason Merriweather Glasgow navigated us back to the exact exit point, a quick visit (2 miles backwards, hows that mark leiter!) to the visitor center, and them south to Houston and the trailhead bike and bed, which was really nice with good bike decor and outdoor seating area. We've finally learned to overlook the overlooks. And that riding from 4pm-6pm is ideal weather wise. Except when you have to do 40+ miles, with another Merriweather breakthrough. And it finally rained about 2 miles from destination of houston, MS. Went to get some mexican, and thats when someone got arrested. For real, a definite bike trip first. After our discussions (2 nights ago) at dinner about how boys have to be very careful, and how sometimes there are misinterpretations/false accusations, his usual politeness to say hello to someone at the restaurant in a town where the cops dont have much to do, led to trouble. He was accused of saying something he did not say to the sheriff's daughter and was summarily ordered to police station, bike in the back of the truck. After a few hours, he was released very shaken. Gonna be an early 'get out of town' morning. 50 miles.
