We heard from him once again after waiting for a while and he was in route, but because of bad directions still behind us. So, once again we changed the meet up location to Laceyville. I write this as were waiting. It's starting to get late, so once he gets here I imagine it might be our stopping point for the day.
One funny or not so funny thing I noticed today while riding is all the road kill. When driving you see some of it, but miss out on the animals that make it to the roadside grass. Going at a slower speed, the biker gets to see all of it. And if you don't see it, you smell it. The smell of death. In just three days I've see perhaps 20 dead deer and smelled many more. I also came across a wild boar of some type today. Sorry, haven't taken any pictures. I'll write about them, but there is just too much to stop every time.
Well, Armin finally made it and we set off into Laceyville to find a place to sleep. The first lady we talked to on the side of the road suggested we go a block down to the mayors house and ask him. Mayor Ken was very nice and said we could sleep in the secluded area down by the river. Can't beat that, river side property and the mayor of this very small town's permission.
We had been talking about treating ourselves, so we went up to the only restaurant in town, The Wiser Choice. I had the Maryland Crabcakes and they might not have been the best in the world, but they were fantastic after a day of riding! We didn't get a ton of miles in today, but Laceyville has proven to be a great town to rest our weary bodies.
Recap:
* 49 miles (total = 164)
* Carbondale, PA to Laceyville, PA
* Beautiful chilly morning
