Cycling the Underground Railroad

  DAY 25:  MORGANFIELD TO HENDERSON, KY Today was a treat, in a number of ways.  Easier cycling today over gentle rolling farmland along the river. First,  this was the easiest riding day I've had in three and a half weeks. Not only was the distance short (29 miles), but I pedaled through farmland that was slightly rolling, with no monster hills!  I could get used to this. Fields of flowers, perhaps being grown for commercial purposes. The weather was also delightful--sunny with the high in the mid-70s and a slight tailwind.  I rode past fields of yellow flowers that looked like they were planted intentionally (although I was not able to identify them). An ideal Spring day on which to cycle.  First Missionary Baptist Church in Henderson, Kentucky.  It has been serving it's community, mostly African-American, since 1866! Henderson is the first sizable city I've encountered since Columbus, Mississippi.  Traffic was very busy on U.S. Highways 60...
