>>1864977>>1864982So that night my stove got stolen was surreal. I was not prepared for the cold wave that hit, so I didn't sleep well. I heard these hillbillies all around in the woods hooting at each other. I don't know how else to describe it, because I've never heard anything like it. They would let out a long hoot, then call something out like "War da fuk yoo at?" Then repeat a couple times, at which point another hoot would come from another direction with some reply. Some Kentucky people I had trouble understanding because of how thick their accents were. So I knew those people were around, I just didn't think they were so close, and I never heard them right outside my tent stealing my stuff.
But that part of Kentucky was devastated by floods earlier this year. It was actually really really sad to ride through and see the destruction. There were all kinds of clothes and trash up in the trees above the rivers, and houses destroyed. At first I just thought it was a really trashy place, but then I learned what had happened. I hope whoever stole my stove can actually benefit from it and doesn't use it to just cook drugs with. But who knows.
Do you have any good pics of your bike all loaded up? I had 3 months to figure out everything I want to do differently on my next tour (if there is a next tour)
