PA Junkyard

It's been brought to my attention that my previous post sounds defensive. It's true I was a little on edge from not sleeping, going on little sleep, packing my bike,and sending off some last minute emails. Oh well!

After getting two and a half hours of sleep, I set out and rode 75 miles today, and I'm staying the night in Pennsylvania just past Gettysburg.



During the ride, I got a little bit of attention from a guy who wanted to talk to me about Ron Paul, but not much else. I didn't really stop today as I've been playing catch-up. Tonight I camp in a junk yard. I was a little intimidated still I did want to talk to the owner of the junkyard about his political views. Unfortunately, he left almost immediately after giving me the "ok" to camp there.



A small dog, whose name I later learned is Maria, has been barking at the amorphous white blob of my invading tent most of the night.



Tomorrow, I will try to ride 100 miles.

That's unfortunate... I would also be interested in those people who haven't registered to vote. I mean a friend told me yesterday that her dad wasn't registered which is mind blowing to me.... what cause could there be not to vote...?

She did, however, inform me when I expressed my disbelief that her father does intend to vote in this election, which is even more interesting to me.

Shit, I already missed the MD part of your trip? I too would have been interested to hear what the junkyard owner had to say. Are you passing through Lancaster at all?
