Crops, Sunsets and Bugs

Hello friends of CC2C!

We got another early start this morning and made our way through Greenwood, Mississippi. Although we had to improvise several alternate routes to get there the older, past its prime industrial boomtown was beautiful in the morning. Alex met with the staff from the Hampton Inn and they were kind enough to donate a room for the night so we checked in early and took a much needed siesta through the heat of the day. We are becoming semi-nocturnal to maximize our schedule for miles, publicity and enough rest since we're all starting to feel the effects of being over 1,000 miles into our trip. After having a Wal-mart dinner we skated through a beautiful landscape of crops against a setting sun to reach Indianola, our mileage goal for the day. There in abundance to welcome us to town were mosquitos. Lots of them. That then set up residence in the car. I think overall in the casualty roster between blood suckers and bitten skateboarders we came out about even for all of our bites since the front of the car and roof storage unit got a pretty thick layer of custom decoration from all the bugs out after dark. Tomorrow we're on the way to Greenville, our last stop in the state before we cross the Mississippi river.
Till tomorrow!
-The CC2C Crew
