A Trick of the Mercator Projection

In what seemed like a hop skip and a jump, we have exited Pennsylvania and continued on into Ohio.


Dad holding up the Welcome to Ohio sign….or is it holding him up?  The world wonders.

We’ve made solid forward progress with fourteen straight days of walking.  Dad’s hiking strongly, and he seems to have vanquished his tilt issue that’s plagued him from time to time.  

The weather is finally cooperating a little more with two nice days in a row with another predicted tomorrow.

For some reason, the states seem to be getting wider from here on out.  I’m hoping it’s a trick of the Mercator Projection.

Onward, one step forward at a time.

Headwind

We trekked a challenging fifteen miles from Erie to Girard, PA.  Today was the first really warm day with the mercury hitting the eighty-eight degree mark.  Did I mention the headwind? Right in the face at fifteen to eighteen miles per hour.


Headwind - Flags Straight Out and Snapping

We’re pretty beat so I’m going to keep this short and get some rest.
