Late, but many thanks for your report and pics. I just got back to reading and looking. That path really does have so many threads of American history knit into it. I keep riding down that way for that reason and that it's 15 minutes from my door. Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh On Monday, July 30,

Thanks for the report! Interesting and thanks for the pics. Most interesting to read about all the challenges. Rain, mud, skeeters, fitting in trumpet practice. I bet it was very satisfying to survive it all and learn how to do so. Not saying that challenges are any fun. But sometimes I guess one

Excellent, Brad! What a great way to travel the “new business class”! Grin. It’s that time of year when I really appreciate fenders yet lack the resolve the put them on. Horse muck runoff makes it a near thing though. Sardonic grin. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because yo

Thanks for the write-up and pictures; it was a very enjoyable read and I'm glad that you had a wonderful time. I was on the GAP two weeks ago and understand about those mosquitoes! I'll be posting my mini ride later. Roberta On Monday, July 30, 2018 at 11:05:16 AM UTC-4, Brad Arnold wrote:

"I set up camp that night in a virtual swamp where mosquitoes terrorized me until I crawled into my tent to play trumpet" has got to be one of the best lines ever written about bike camping. I love it! On Monday, July 30, 2018 at 11:05:16 AM UTC-4, Brad Arnold wrote: > > Hello All. I hope you fi
