Lewisburg, West Virginia --> Frederick Maryland
Distance traveled: 270 miles
Beaver wasn't feeling well, he had a cold. We decided that since we made great time on the first day that we would cut this one short so Beaver could get some rest and start feeling better.
A much better day! No hail! We did run into some rain, but only 15 minutes or so and it wasn't heavy so we just shook it off, didn't even have to put on the rain gear.
Riding through the mountains of West Virginia was awesome. The roads were unpopulated for the most part and clean of debris. We could see a mountain ahead of us and it seemed like all of a sudden we were on that mountain overlooking the valley below. Then we would go back down that mountain, and up another. The mountain roads and views described in the last post will suffice; the views were just gorgeous. Unfortunately there weren't many places to stop and Pawn Dog had to take this pictures while riding.
Probably the most interesting place we passed was Seneca Rocks National Park. The rock formations wereawesome and nothing like most of us (if not all) had ever seen. Definitely something that's unforgettable. This was the most prominent formation of the bunch, but the whole park was littered with interesting formations.
We arrived in Federick Maryland and stopped in the middle of town while we tried to decide where to crash for the night. While we were waiting on Bone and Rash to go to the bathroom or whatever Smoke started handing out beef jerky to everyone. We're just standing and talking and a stranger from the sidewalk comes up to us holding a box. He tells us that he has some leftover pizza if we would like to have it. We all politely declined. He turned away from us and threw his hands up in the air and told his wife (I assume), "They didn't want it!" We were all slightly confused and then it hit us...he thought we were hungry and needed food! I didn't think we looked that rough...
Anyway, so that was our day. Gettysburg is next.
