After one of earliest starts today we headed from Cave City to hopefully Rough River State Park. It was over 90 miles. This also meant that we were going to head back to Mammoth Cave and the turn left onto the Green River Ferry Crossing Road. As we approached the Green River the road signs were indicating that the ferry was running from 6 am to 8 pm daily. Down a big hill to the river and just before the ferry there was a barrier indicating that the ferry was \u201dclosed\u201d. Oh no! There was a welding truck on the ferry. Not a good sign. After talking with someone from the National Park Service they indicated that the repairs would take 2 to 3 hours. We were not going to back track the 30+ miles to regain the main 76 route nor was there an easy detour. We decided to wait it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In less than 3 hours the ferry was running and we were crossing the Green River. It was a long climb out of the Green River valley. But because of the delay crossing the Green River there was no way that we could make it the 90+ miles to Rough River State Park. Plan B was to stop in Sonora. Plan C was to push onto the fire hall in White Mill. Plan C it was. The last 12 miles from Sonora to White Mill was relatively flat with a tail wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the fire hall we met a Spainard that was riding our same route. That evening it poured. So what is new?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s stats: total mileage 56.6 miles, average speed 12.0 mph, elevation gain 3740 feet, elevation descent 3507 feet, maximum speed 38.9 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
