Another wet start to the day,breakfast at the nearest diner was cheese omelette home fries and toast,after a good fuel up we hit the road ,47 wet miles we pulled into a campground we had earmarked,only to find it inches deep in mud,so no go there.pushing on we looked on google to find a small motel up the road ,reaching it found that to be closed. Pushing on again mike spotted a VFW (veterans of foreign wars ) building with a tank outside,next to it was a large pavilion,Mike went in to ask if ok to camp up there overnight ,the said no problem,then told us to come back in for a beer 
Tent all up and changed out of our wet clothing we headed in to the bar,the people in there were intrigued to hear our story,they filled us up on free pizza and beer ,loving the America hospitality.
