    In a campground in Orwell, Ohio. Stopped early because of the heat. And to think a few days ago we were cold!

    We stopped at a mini-mart, the only food available, for lunch today. It was 90° out and there was no shade so we had a picnic on the floor in the A.C. We are having a blast, even with the heat!

    If anyone is in contact with scavenger off forum, please give her a shout and tell her we are camped south of her and we would love to meet her for lunch if possible tomorrow. (Monday, 6/12) We don't have her phone number.

    Yesterday was HOT! The highlight of the day was meeting the beautiful Ms. Scavenger. She took her lunch from work and met us trailside, complete with welcoming sign! She's quite a lady. The FHC family support has enriched our trip. We are hoping to meet more of you.

    Today's stop is a KOA about 55 miles from Buffalo, NY and about 80 miles from our first sightseeing stop of Niagara Falls.

    Meeting the lovely Ms. Scavenger:handshake:

    Yep it was a hot day for cycling long distance.

    Pennsylvania and New York came fast.

    Tomorrow is another day and another adventure. As for now, it's a lounge chair and a dip in the KOA pool. Hope to see you along our way.:salute:

    Not really, for the most part everyone's been courteous and cautious.

    I was bringing up the tail end of a Brownie Troop bike ride and if I could have got a hold of a couple drivers, I would have stomped their azz, they had a whole other clear lane to use but didn't, came way too close:mad:
