September 24, and we are off again

We stayed last night in an area about 20-30 miles south of where they are looking for the guy who killed the police officers.  We both woke up this morning having thought about it last night.  We were to go on the Sullivan Trail, which we thought would be remote.  Great place to be nabbed as we could supply the perpetrator with food and alternative clothing, not to mention bicycles for faster movement. So we called the state police and they told us not to worry, we were out of the search zone.  This all assumes the guy is in the search zone too....

BUT, not to worry as we had a rude awakening.  The Sullivan Trail is not a rail trail with gentle gradients......it is a road that follows a trail cut through the wilderness in the revolutionary times for a general named Sullivan.  No rock removal, so steep grades......had to push the bike a couple of times (once for over a half mile).  And plenty of traffic.  Did I mention that my cable sheath on my front shifter started to unravel not letting me get into low gear in the front????? DAMN!!!!!!  Not to worry though with a little fiddling I could get the low and mid gear, so off......

Tried to find a bike shop on our route today.....non-existent so off to a campground in White Haven, some 42 mile day.  So enjoy the pics

morning after pics....all this cra... goes on Barbs bike

The old man trying to remember what he is going to do today.....oh yea, ride a bike

 At the top of the Sullivan trail was a monument to the guys who built the trail.  guess it was a long winter.

 WOW real fall colors

 More shots of the monument, you can read yourself

Watch our for potholes...

We made it to our campground in White Haven, nice showers, had dinner within a short walk.  All is well and we didn't meet any unsavory characters, so life is good.
