Confluence, PA to Bedford, PA


I couldn't sleep last night. We were camped near a pond full of bullfrogs that made noise all through the night. I would've preferred a train...

Today's ride had some glorious downhill!  You just had to do a lot of not-so-glorious climbing to get to it. A ski lift would have been nice...

The ride was really nice though. I opted to go over Mt. Davis, the highest point in PA. 

After lunch I stopped by the Flight 93 Memorial...  I can't find the words to describe how being there made me feel...

There is a wall there with the names of the crew and passengers of Flight 93 at the memorial. One woman had 'and unborn child' carved next to her name as well...   I imagined the grief that her husband must have felt...  It's so sad...

Tomorrow we ride to Gettysburg. It's the last physically demanding day of the ride. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

I miss my family quite a bit, and although I'm having a blast on this ride, I can't wait for it to be over so I can join them again in California. 



Fun!
