Today I met my basic goal of riding 100 miles in each of the lower 48 states within one year. The picture of the bike is where this actually occurred. I'm sure it's not the exact point, but it should be at least within 5 miles. It is somewhere in Pennsylvania. I shot off some streamers, but I guess they didn't show up in the picture. So basically I started off from Hancock, NY this morning and headed into Pennsylvania. Like yesterday, the morning started off cool and foggy, but cleared quickly as I rode thru the mountains. After a couple of hundred miles on the back roads with some great scenery, I hit the interstate so that I could get to Leesburg to see our friends Jim and Jean. Years ago Jim and I had a wager where the loser had to buy the beer whenever we got together, and I'm not talking a six pack here, this was beer for life. I never tire of collecting on this bet. Additionally, I wanted to see Jim's new toy. We became friends when we were in the Air Force over 30 years ago, I think he bought this plane just to make me jealous.
Anyway, even though the basic goal is complete I still have to get home before I can consider it successful. If things go as planned, I should be home in two days. I'll keep blogging until I get there.
