Heard from Alexis a few times today.  They are all sounding very tired.  The heat is really getting to them and tomorrow is supposed to be worse.  There were a flurry of calls and much passing of the phone so I hope I've gotten this straight.  /Madre

2pm @ South Sandy Creek-
We are sooo hot.  We tried to stop and cool off in the shade but the mosquitos are killing us and there isn't a breeze so off we go again.  I love gaterade.  I'm too hot and tired to think.  I'll check in later tonight. 

We swam earlier today and even though it felt good I found I was a bit uncomfortable as there were crowds of people in a small area to swim.  I think I've really gotten used to the quiet of the woods and the road. 

5pm @ Port Ontario
45 Miles down!  We are still very hot but plugging along.  Since we know tomorrow is going to be hot again, if we are up to it and the roads are good, we may bike some tonight with our lights while it is cool.  We are again hopeful we might actually make Naz sometime Saturday. 

We want showers and screened windows  We're happy without A/C or beds -- just give us showers and screens!!  Our goal is Oswego or even further.  Keep your fingers crossed for us. 

Right now the plan is for Madre to arrive on Saturday with all my stuff and unload the car without us (what a deal!).  I've called my friend, Tasha, and they are going to try and make contact so she can help.

Gotta go.

Way to go!
I have been enjoying reading about your adventure. I wish I had the power to create a cold front with a nice breeze for you! Enjoy that shower when you make it to your final destination-Take Care, Meg
