I'm in Tusket, 5 kilometers from Yarmouth. Rode 95 kilometers yesterday, with the wind at my back for the first 40k, calm for 25k, and headwinds for the last 30k. I was more than fatigued, riding very slowly at the end. A promised campground in Argyle must have removed their sign, so I rode another 15k to find one.

My route took me through Birchtown, where Black "loyalist" refugees from the American Revolution settled in the late 1700's - down the road from Shelburne, where white traitors to the American Revolution settled. Birchtown is a nice place. The museum was closed, which was good because I had decided to try for Yarmouth.
