Day 39 - Burton, OH

- Text Message and Pictures From Patty -




More pictures posted in the album section.

After the sag stop yesterday, we rode onto Fremont. In Fremont, we stopped by the house that I sent you a picture of.



We talked to the man who owned the house (he was sitting on the porch with his dog and cat). He told us a little bit about the house's history.

The house was build in 1824. He and his wife painted the house near to the original colors.

The house had dormer windows. Over one of the windows was a Quaker Hex Sign to ward off evil spirits.

Chuck was afraid that the man was going to ask us in for a tour because he knew that I would have gone.

He kept envisioning us getting into camp at 6 pm. Ha! he is usually the first one in to camp. We went on though and were amongest the first in.

I even got to help unload the truck which was a first and probably the last for me. We are headed for the hills and Mountains of Pennsylvania.

We had dinner at TGI Fridays last night Our waiter was so funny. We asked how to get out to see Lake Erie, and he said that there were no bike paths there.

We just laughed and didn't even try to explain to him that we have pedaled several thousand miles on all types of roads and freeways.

I din;t think he would have believed us. Sandusky is definitely not a biker friendly town. The drivers are just plain scary.

I wonde what it will be like riding thru Cleveland? We hit Cleveland about mile 50 today. Well gotta roll. ttyl.
