063 Cycle Touring the USA (2) - Part 2

(Leana) #1

(^130) Norwalk – Reedsburg - 73 km

The following day, the tunnels were not as long and scary.
Nevertheless, the enormous doors to these tunnel entrances were
intriguing. I read they were to seal in warmer temperatures during
cold weather (and, of course, keep the snow out). Back in the day,
tunnel watchmen were hired to open and close the doors as trains
approached.
An effortless and relaxing ride led to Reedsburg, which had a
computer shop and accommodation. Unfortunately, the computer
shop was already closed.
The following day, I took the laptop to see if they could repair Skype,
which had stopped working. While they worked on the computer, I
handed in my sleeping bag at the laundry (a long overdue job). It
wasn't the washing that took forever, but the drying.
The next morning, rain came gushing down and, as it was still raining
by midday, I decided to stay and relax in front of the TV.
