We had our first brush with the law today! We were on US 15, which was at that point one of the "limited access" highways. We heard a voice from behind, "riders, please exit the highway" - whoops! We were at our exit anyway, which was a good thing, because it turns out that you cannot ride a bike in Pennsylvania on a limited access highway. He just wanted to warn us - and of course he had to enter in his computer that he had done so. So forewarned is forearmed, I guess!

We stopped in at a bike store to buy some more shorts. Chamois butter also. There are some things that are just wearing out faster than I ever thought they would! We also are finding that we really want a third pair since we are doing more hotel and less Warm Showers, which reduces our ability to use a washing machine. Sometimes they don't dry overnight. This has particularly been a problem while it's been so muggy of late. And it's not likely to get any better as we head south.
Dinner tonight - a "hot pocket" snack and some chocolate milk. The pizza delivery guy was supposed to come to the campground but he dissed us. He said he called, but you know - phones today will let you know if you have missed a call so I don't think so. And so, at 9:08, that's what the little camp store had on offer. Well, as Crocodile Dundee said, "you can live on it, but it tastes like . . . "!

Nice old tandem hanging in the bike shop |
We are expecting rain tomorrow - there is a 97% chance by 2:00 pm - so perhaps that will cool things off a little. Or just make it steamier. We'll see.

Did you explore Gettusburg history? I lived a few miles away in Waynesboro back in the early 90's
