Michael called late tonight, nearly midnight Eastern time. I was expecting that they didn't have service tonight, but apparently it was just a very long day. Here is the map of the past two days.

Last night the crew stayed in Hindman, KY. Michael got separated from C&C (Claire and Calum) and waited for them at the main crossroads in the town for a while. They had planned to stay at the Bed and Breakfast in town because it had specials for bicyclists. He rode up to the B&B after waiting for a while and then C&C didn't show up until 9:30 or 10 at night. They ordered pizza for dinner and didn't get to bed till about 1.
As a result, this morning they didn't get out until just after noon. They hoped to make it to Booneville today, but because of the late start and setbacks they didn't make it. Just north of Hazard, KY Claire was having cramps so they went to a clinic there to get her some medicine. Nearly 4 hours later they were back on the road but much behind schedule. They were unable to stay in Chaives, KY and were planning just to "stealth camp" somewhere along the road, but a sheriff pulled up and told them that they had to continue to the next town. Somewhere in here a family pulled up and said that they would pick them up and take Michael, C&C to their home. Michael said that they are staying in the family's basement and were fed some dinner as well. The house is in Gays Creek, KY between Chavies and Buckhorn on the map.
Michael was unsure of the plan for tomorrow, but they are hoping to get out early to make up for today's lost time. Still no pictures, but maybe coverage will be stronger near Lexington, KY and we can get some more photos. Maybe even one with Michael in it!
