Yesterday early evening I got ready to build a fire. I had just finished eating and a cyclist slowed and rode into the campsite. I introduced myself and he told me his brand is Chuck and he’s from Minnisota and riding the trail to Pittsburgh. I mentioned that I was preparing to build a fire. He said he’d be over after he set up camp. He later came over with some firewood. We sat and talked until dark. It was time for bed.
He was gone by the time I came out of my tent, he said he would get an early start and try not to wake me.
I have a five mile day to get back to Williamsport. I will meet up with my Warmshowers host at 12:30 so I take my time with breakfast and relax into the day with Elbow Room coffee and a cinnamon bun.
I arrive an hour early so I set up my chair and watch the activity. People are unloading their bikes to set off for a day of fun on the trail and some are fishing. Greg drives in and we load my bike and gear into his pickup and off we go to his house. I will be here two days.
