Thoughts from a colored TV
  
This is not just a black and white world. Most of us see everything in color and from me you will see it all.

Slow going through Tennessee Jun 22, 2008 4:30 am
Mood: adventurous, 193 Views
In Tennessee I had a lot of walking that I had to do. With all the weight that I had on my bike it was easier to walk the bike up the mountains than to try and ride it up. Then I walked it down a lot of them as it was to steep to ride and risk my brakes going out on me. I was making about 30 miles a day rather than the 60 miles a day I was doing the first part of my trip.

Trouble in the Smokey Mountains Jun 22, 2008 4:27 am
Mood: adventurous, 193 Views
Now that I have reached Indiana I finally have found a computer to keep you up to date. I had a bike accident in the Smokey Mountains. I had to walk my bike up to the top of the mountain because it was to steep for me to ride. At the top I asked a park ranger there if I could camp there that night and was told that I couldn't. So it was 15 miles to the bottom on the other side and I walked my bike down. It was to steep for my brakes to hold do to all the weight that I had on my bike. It was almost 8:30 pm and I still had about six miles left to go. I wanted to get down before it got dark and decided to chance riding it. A big mistake on my part.
Soon I was going to fast and tried using my brakes and they went out on me. Then I decided to get on the grass as I hoped that would slow me down enough to stop. Next thing I know I am hitting the ground. Scraped up my left arm real bad and was bleeding from my head. I did not have a bike helmet. I had some toilet paper that I used to try and stop the bleeding. It worked long enough to let me get my bike back in order. I started to walk it again and felt blood coming from my head again. I stopped and put my trap on the ground and then used my sleeping bag as a pillow. Once again I put toilet paper against my head. I layed there on the side of the road for 3 hours before the park rangers found me. I was then taken by ambulance to the local hospital. They ran a bunch of tests on me before they decided that nothing else was wrong with me and then put staples in my head.
In the morning I called the Rangers Station and they brought my stuff to me. I was then off on my bike to Walmart to buy a new front basket for my bike as the one I had was really bent up and I got a bike helmet as well.
I got lucky that nothing else was wrong with me.
