  Land Between the Lakes is a National Recreation Area. we stoped at the visitor's centor for a map and information. Looking at the hills and the distance, we figured we would just make it for the 2 pm planetarium show. It was well worth the stop, we learned about the night skies and we were looking forward to observing Mars tonight.  
 
       
  After pitching our tent at the Wranglers Campground, we took showers and had humongous burgers at the snackbar. And then the storm arrived. We never did see Mars because we dared not stick our heads out from the tent in the relentless downpour. Thanks Yoshu for telling us about using M&M's to play checkers when camping!  
   
 
 
   
In the morning we hung our tent from the clothesline to dry while we had breakfast. Cycling to the 1850's Homestead and chatting with the guides about 'life in the good ole days' was fun. A group of teenaged schoolchildren couldn't believe we had ridden our bicycles this far. "Don't you own a car?" and "Did you really ride 50 miles in one day?" they asked us.
