We are currently in Fair Haven, NY waiting out another storm i suppose. The weather up here is weird. But at least we have escaped the bugs for the most part! Thank you all for your comments-its good to hear from you! Yesterday was our day off, we spent it at a campsite off the shore of Lake Ontario. Bruce and Shawn would not get on the bike at all and even walked twice to the ice cream place a mile away from our campsite. Karla and I on the other hand were loving biking w/out our load so we went into town 5 miles away and I was able to go to church:) Last night we had our first theft as two little racoons got our apples, bananas, and bread from our bear bag! But at least they didn't get our cereal and milk for breakfast.
The hills of New York are quite more enjoyable for me than the mountains were, and I am beginning to enjoy my time on the bike more. Drafting Bruce and Shawn helps:) Today we were just a flying and realized we had missed our turn 5 miles back so we had to backtrack. Even so w/ all of that we have rode 50 miles today and are planning on another 2o. Well we better go while the sun is out and there is no more thunder!

EVIE! hi my dear, I would nurse those bug bites for you if I was there to take care of you. You're trip so far is very impressive! Take courage and keep pedaling! I know you can do it!
p.s. my horse died today (we think of a heart attack). my fam is pretty bummed about it.

Shawn,
I just got back this morning from Newark, NY. I didn't realize you were going to be so close! I should have called you. We were on a missions trip with our youth group. We were in Niagara Falls yesterday. Talk to you soon!
Lucky you, guys, having an MSF-experienced log with you! Karla the bike-doc - well done! Hope your weather gets better now. Here in Munich it's finally become really sunny and warm and everybody talks soccer all day long - it's great!
