Friday Morning Ride

-

It's been a busy week and I missed a ride on Wednesday.  I had a very short amount of time to get Wednesday's ride in and, as I started, I realized I had a flat tire.  I didn't have enough time to get the tire changed so had to skip that ride.  So back out this morning.

It's hot and humid here in East Texas with temperatures forecasted to be above 100 degrees today.  So I'm glad I got the ride in early. I was a little stiff at the start of the ride but loosened up as I got warmed up.  I'm also trying out a new camera today, so let's see if that makes a difference in the video quality. 

Overall, it was a good ride.

Before we get into the trip, let's look a little at the history of the island.

Jack was one of 13 children born to his father Calaway Daniel.  His mother Lucinda Cook Daniel bore 10 of those children prior to her death. Calaway Daniel remarried, but apparently Jack did not like his step-mother.  After his father's death in the Civil War, Jack ran away from home at the age of 7.
