Thursday June 25th - evening

Great weather and great ride all day. Stopped to get gas at 3 pm and I asked the attendant if he knew the weather for tomorrow, he was looking at a weather site on line. He said tomorrow will be fine, but look at this - these are huge thunder heads moving in and they will be here in an hour and it is going to dump. Oh great I said! Do you know of any campgrounds close, I said? KOA up the road 17 miles. Off I went and here I sit will my tent all set up watching big black clouds moving in. I hope there is a bunch of lightning before it starts raining so I can watch it:-) I rode from Syracuse, New York, straight south in what they call the finger lakes area. Very beautiful. Lots of dairies, but didn't see any Guernseys:-( I rode Hwy 6 straight west once I got into Pennsylvania and I am almost in Ohio in a town named Warren. The whole day was great. Traffic was light, scenery was super, and the ride was semi curvy. Just enough to keep from going to sleep. I rode 320 miles today. I would have made 400 if the rain hadn't come. Tomorrow I will get 400 miles in.

This morning I smeared bag balm all over my mustache to keep it from blowing up and tickling my nose while I ride. Didn't work. It still tickled the heck out of me, but at least the inside of my nose won't be chapped:-)
