Day 7 - 65 miles

* 65 Miles (Total = 402)
* Allegheny National Forest to Union City

ONE WEEK!!!! We still have a lot more to go, but I feel one week is a pretty big milestone! We've gone roughly 1/8th of the distance we need to make it to Portland, OR.


It's been four nights since we ate out, so were hoping to find a restaurant tonight. I'd kill for an Old Country Buffet or OCB as it is often referred as.

For sleeping accomidations tonight, Armin talked with the minister from the First United Methodist Church in town. They were kind enough to let us sleep in their backyard, another nice accomidation.

We are only a few blocks from downtown, so we headed out to find a place to eat. We had a couple of different options and ended up going with a chinese restaurant. One with the same exact menus and pictures that were so familiar with. It was fantastic! All food on this trip has just been great, although I didn't try the pink pickled egg Armin bought at a convience store. To cap the meal off I had an ice cream cone from McDonalds...brings back memories of growing up.

Tomorrow we should make it out of the Keystone State and cross into the land of Buckeyes. This state has been good to us, lets hope the rest of the country is.
