Over the bridge to Matamoras PA for gas and tobacco. Without the New York State taxes, gas was 30 cents cheaper a gallon (not that it makes a BIG difference with Rosie) and a pound of tobacco was about half price! That difference alone paid the gas for my ride! Then I met up with people I hadn't seen since 1971 at Dad's on Pike Street and proceeded to spend the night telling tales and catching up.
This morning I back tracked up 42 and continued on 97 after they split, riding through the famed "Hawk's Nest" before cutting back over on 55, through Eldred Preserve and past White Lake (the 1969 location of the Woodstock Music Festival), to get back home.
Though I drank lots of Gatorade yesterday, and we all swam in Bill & Del's pool last night, I am still feeling the effects of dehydration today. I'm glad I came home this morning while it was still cool! Slow and easy.
