day 12: titusville, pa to hubbard, oh 65 miles

Woo crossing borders on the reg! Today was an odd day. We got a lazy start after our late nuight. It poured rain so of course we were a bit soggy. When we finally hit the road it was slow going. Western pennsylvania has an aversion to pavement so we got stuck on some crappy dirt roads that slowed us down significantly. We saw many amish folk and the title of my book was born. Toull have to wait and see, but its gold.

We narrowly escaped some angry dogs. The leash craze hadn't reached the area I guess. Needless to say on a couple of occassions we almost lost our ankles.speaking of ankles haha, my knee is back to sore shape. Hopefully it gets better, but today was a bit of a grind.

We had a great early stop at the enchanted florist convenience store. The woman in charge was great, but thenThere was nothing for a solid 45 mile stretch. We saw more woodchucks than people, seriously. We eventually found society and triumphantly entered ohio. My first time in the state- we are far from home. We hit the campground around 7. The woman in charge is wondeful and was great to talk to. We made two awesome friends- Ali and Nick who also just finished up college. They took us to the grocery store in Nick's sick camaro. Great times. Bed soon, tomorrow we continue the assault on ohio. Miss you all.

Love
Jason
