Woke up at 5, the temperature was 75 and humid,  the wind was out of the North with the flags on town flapping which is unusual for early morning.  Had breakfast at McDonald’s and on the bike by 5:45.
Biking was slow due to the head winds and hills. Biked hwy 81 which is seperated 4 lane with shoulder, good for most of the distance. Only one town on the route,  Madison. Did 46 miles, average speed of 11.3. Staying at the New Victorian Inn for $39.99 plus tax. Norfork’s claim to fame is that it is the birth place of Johnny Carson.
