Day 3 - 73.56 miles
Palmyra, VA
After writing a Day 3 midday post, we left the library to find out that the heat index was 105. We thought we'd push through all our miles regardless, but were forced to take one last break at Cooper Vineyards for a free wine tasting (coopervineyards.com). Three of the eight wines we tasted were "award winning," so we bought a bottle of red, which we enjoyed with some Chef Boyardee in a church that graciously helped us out at the last minute. We're loving the southern hospitality. Especially Austin: he was allowed to use the mattress from the church's preschool crib under his sleeping bag. Jon wasn't sure if it was an oversized pillow or an undersized bed.
