First night camping!

Jun 17 - Sutton MA to Wells State Park, Sturbridge, MA:  21 miles

OK, I confess that up until now, we have managed to do our daily riding segments and still sleep at my home outside Boston.  We never really had a chance to do any dry runs in advance, so we've been using these first days to make gear and bike modifications which have needed more tools than we're carrying. 

Today, after been dropped off at Sutton, we were 'on our own' to make it all 21 miles to Wells State Park, where we had a lovely waterside camp spot.

I moved more gear to the back, and I'm not sure it was better. I'm carrying more of the joint gear than Heather, putting my load at around 22 pounds while she builds up her cycling legs/stamina. I'm going to keep experimenting with the packing and load distribution.

There was a long descent into the park, so we have some climbing to look forward to tomorrow!
