Sunday, June 21st

Left Morgantown, Pennsylvania at 7am this morning. Started raining about 5 minutes later and rained all day off and on. Not so hard that I couldn't see or so that the road had lots of standing water. I rode 250 miles today. I was going to try and get over 300 but the riding in the rain wore me out and froze me out as well. I am camped at Sharon, Connecticut. A very beautiful campground with lots of big trees and a shower. I bought a bundle of firewood for $5 and I am going to build me a fire and sit by it later this evening. I might even throw a few pine cones in the fire and make a few major new commitments to God in my service for Him. :-) I am going to have freeze-dried Beef Stroganoff for dinner. Yum, yum! I am going to camp in Fryeberg, Maine tomorrow night and then it is all West after that. This ole horse can already smell the hay at home. Who knows, once I get started for home I may put in some 600 mile days, especially if I can get some good weather. I have 21 days done and 6,250 mi. That is about 50 miles short of my 300 mile a day goal. I won't have any trouble making it up once I get some straight roads and good weather.
