Day 44 [Vancleave, MS]

I had a nice ride through rural Mississippi back roads today.  Not a single gas station or restaurant for 70+ miles, but I managed to make do by asking churches along the way to refill my water holdings.  Six hours of riding and I was here in my next campground.  I set up my tent and walked into town to find food having not eaten since 8:30 this morning.  A redneck here at the campground told me there was a Subway a mile down the road to the left. Well I walked that mile, and a little extra...no Subway or any other place to get food.  So I turned around and walked back the other way, all in all tallying about 3 miles of walking around before I was able to find some grub.  A real fun game to play when you are starving.  Back at the campground I hung out with three other touring cyclists for an hour or so.  One couple from Montana, and a man from Colorado who I met last night at my campground in Poplarville.  Tomorrow's a cool day.  It brings me to Alabama, and in particular a little island off the coast of Alabama that I never knew existed until this trip.  These smaller states are so fun to bike through because you can rip right by them in a day or two!
