Galconda State Recreation Area on the Ohio River was a nice camping spot, and was even better since we were the only campers there. We awoke to three wild turkeys and a turtle, but the turkeys took off before we get them in a photo. The turtle made it though. Sean and Pat rode north out of town and headed east to Elizabethtown where we stopped for lunch on the river, literally on the Ohio river. Next was a short ferry ride across the Ohio River and into Kentucky, the last state before Virginia, the finale state. We planned to stay in Dixon, KY, but once we arrived and realized that they had no accommodations, the guys decided to go a little further to Sebree. What stroke of luck! The First Baptist Church in Sebree provided housing to cyclists, and the pastor and his wife, Bob and Violet Hardison, cooked us a great meal and lodging for the night in the church's activity center. They were wonderful hosts and were a welcome surprise.
