Well that’s another 1,000km done! I’m at 4,250km now. Close to half distance. I’m glad of the rest day as I’ve got a slight ankle strain. It began hurting during yesterday’s ride. (And this after I wrote about having arrived at Lake Superior in good condition. Typical!). Not sure how I picked it up but hopefully a day’s rest will be enough. We’ll see.
(Edit: I ended up spending an extra day in Ashland to allow the complete recovery of my slight ankle strain).
I spent most of the morning looking at murals! Ashland has a really cool Mural Walk around the business district. There were around a dozen large scale wall murals to see. It’s a really fantastic (and ongoing) piece of work. It’s the work of two local artists, Kelly Meredith and Susan Prentice Martinsen. I spoke to “Sue” whilst she worked on the latest one entitled “Oredock”. (One of Ashland’s landmarks is the last remaining of 6 former mineral ore transportation docks). A nice lady to talk to and very talented. Some pictures of my favourite two murals follow.
A got of couple of other shots as I wandered down Main St, but the murals definitely stole the show today!

You can so tell you like art
The murals are great, I love this sort of thing too. Just think of the opportunity for these in English 'ghost' towns, where lots ifl empty shops stand - would make many a High Street more interesting!!
