Day 6 - 62 miles

Today was a tough day. When we all got to a meet up point towards the end it was tough deciding what to do because we were so exhausted. But, we managed to push on for an additional 8 miles from that point into the Allegheny National Forest. We knew we could camp just about anywhere in any National Forest, but we still stopped by the Rangers Station to ask where a good spot might be. The ranger said we own the land, so basically anywhere is fine. Being tired we chose this cleared out area behind the station. It is actually one of our worst accomidtions. We have always had a water source in our previous 5 stops.

I really haven't talked about what "camp" is like each night, so let me run down the basics.
- When we first get in we want to get out of our bike clothes, so that involves either going out in the woods, or Armin setting up his big ten.
- Than we usually have some relaxation time. I might blog, Julie reads, Armin sleeps or searches for crayfish. Various chores are also completed, like last night we rinsed our clothes out in the creek.
- At some point dinner is started. Armin is usually the lead on this, but we all pitch in with the various cutting or opening tasks.
- After dinner one or two of us will do dishes. We slowly start to prepare for bed by brushing teeth, taking out contacts, or getting our sleeping gear all in place.
- More free time again. I'm still pounding away at my little computer and Armin always takes out his ukulele and we gather around to practice a few songs. We might actually be good by the time we get to Chicago if anyone wants to book us.
- A little after sunset we head to bed for either more reading or just to fall asleep right away.
- Morning comes and we all slowly rise. Talking is limited to just the basics as we shake out the cold and prepare mentally for the day ahead. We have been eating oatmeal, but we just picked up some cereal and powdered milk for tomorrow.
- Than after picking our meet up spots and final destination for the day, were off.

Recap:
* 62 miles (total = 337)
* Denton Hill State Park to Allegheny National Forest (just West of Marshburg)
