I finally found out why I had so much trouble finding a motel vacancy at the rather obscure village of Mansfield, PA. The NRA is sponsoring the annual Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC), a sharp shooter competition this weekend. Wini and I met the national champion high school sharp shooter at the local McDonalds this afternoon. His grandmother proudly pointed him out. About 400 young hunters along with their families are participating in this national event.
One of the greatest challenges of a long distance biker is finding a good spot to pee. I learned today that it is best to avoid a honey bee farm, especially when it is posted "no trespassing". I made a hasty exit with no harm done.
We are in some very beautiful country. In fact, Pennsylvania has its own "Grand Canyon" nearby. We are also fairly close to Williamsport, PA, the former home of my oldest sister.
Three more days and we should be on the Atlantic.
