So Monday comes. We were finally able to buy breaks. We checked out of the hotel and caught a bus ass long out of our way. The best was loading our bikes onto the front bus rack, and then dragging all our gear onto the bus with us, very excellent. We bought the break pads, put them on and then caught the bus back to Johnstown.
In the weekday light Johnstown was actually okay, and lively. Maybe it is just bleak during the weekend? There were still a lot of disfigured mongoloids and mentally ill people around, but people were actually talking and interacting. Businesses were open, and the streets were busy with people. The sun was bright and shining down on the streets and tree's were green blowing in the wind. How much difference a little sun makes.
We rode out of town and made it to Apollo PA. We traveled the far distance North because heading directly west would bring us into the heart of Pittsburgh, and we're also aiming for Akron OH. were I have a few friends. There really wasn't anywhere to camp, but a guy in a variety store gave us direction to a bike/hike trail that he said would be a good spot. We got down there, and though it was beautiful, it wasn't really great for camping. The biking/running trail was right next to the river, and it was surrounded by a thick menagerie of small bushes and young tree's. It was getting late and we just said the hell with it and pitched our tents in a wide open grassy spot right beside the trail. I actually fell asleep pretty easy, even though I usually get nervous when we sleep in plain view and it's hard to sleep when the nerves are up.
