We're back baby!!!

 

Gretta post 7 mile ride wondering why it is that I still have to have a camera even after we just finish our ride...because- that's why!!!

 

dig that dirt on my lady!!! Dannnnng

Yes, that is our beat up old truck we drove all the way out here with 275,000 miles on it! It was made while I was still in high school. 

 

Gretta's new best friend...

so, one of the points of our move was to enjoy the outdoor opportunities here in central PA, in that we decided that Gretta deserved a bike to call her own and a chance to figure out what all the fuss was with mountain bike riding.
Yesterday she took the bike and climbed up the moutian road in Rothrock state forest to get aquainted with it...all alone in the woods and fire roads. This morning we headed out to the local trails that feature dirt and turns so she could run around and get dirty. It was great!  It ended up raining on us, she went head first over the handle bars when a log jumped up and she really looked like it was worth all the hassle of moving back.
Gretta- it was great being out there with you!!! You rode so well, thanks for letting me be a part of your first mountain ride!

Here...here at last.

Made it to Leah's pad last night around 1am. (Thanks, Leah!!!!!!!)..dang what a day it was. And the gps took us along route 22 with a ton of night construction, one lane roads, and two cranky people... But here we are- rested, caffienated, and just a kittle stinky from riding without ac for 17 hours straight. Hello beautiful state college.

Oh suh-nap

It's the first Sheetz...e just spun the tires and nearly turned the rig over pulling in. well maybe not that extreme... But he did off road a little over the curb pulling in. Someone's getting excited. To tell the truth we all are... We're going to push on.

The Golden Road

Hit I-70 --the golden road home. We are less than a thousand miles away now and chomping at the bit to just get there. To stay on the road til we are there or to make a short day tomorrow? We'll see once we make Columbus. No matter, we are pointed in the right direction with the smell of honeysuckle welcoming us back across the river.
