Day 41, Burton to New Waterford, OH


Fog this morning, so we delayed one hour in a coffee shop in Burton until the fog (mostly) lifted.
We rode most of the day with Kate Montana. Interesting woman, an artist as well as a strong rider. A truck came very close to her early in the day. Really upset her. As the traffic gets heavier, and the roads lose their shoulders, we have to ride more aggressively to be safe. Sounds odd, but by riding two or three feet from the edge of the road, people tend to give us more room when passing.
We are staying at a campground tonight with pizza catered in for supper. Shady area to put our tent, but cool showers and dirty toilets. I’ve seen nicer in Ecuador.
Tomorrow we have a hilly but short day, and we enter our eleventh state. We will be camping again, this time in Washington, PA.
May not post for a couple of days as the internet is spotty at best until Bedford or Gettysburg.
