June 7 - Another Grueling Ride

At Cockspur Lighthouse

Up close and personal

Our last day off and we had a great day! Today’s after breakfast ride was out to the Cockspur Lighthouse, which is at the east end of the island. It’s a very small lighthouse that still works but is only accessible by boat. It has a lot of corrosion that is soon to be worked on and you can go in it if you can get to it. The trail leads out to the closest land point. Well, the trail is 1.7 miles and it’s over a mile from the RV. The trail is all mulch which was harder to ride on that the 6 miles we did yesterday. It was grueling. Actually we biked almost all the way then the path really narrows and we parked the biked and walked as far as we could to take photos. I was just as tired today as I was yesterday. After a rest, I did a load of wash, and got showered for our outing to town.

We decided to try out Cancun Café since we pretty much knew where it was and it was on the way. It was pretty good, we’d go back. Decent lunch crowd, which was good. Then we went to Thunderbolt where the Home Depot, Target, Staples and movie theatre are. I did my Target shopping, then to Staples for extra ink for the new printer, then we went across the street to check out the Habitat store and a salad for dinner. We took Xena for a long walk and saw 4-5 deer. Then it was a bit of TV and try to get a good night’s sleep for another 4 days of work.
