Waiting eagerly for "Bike Paths Can Be the Pitts"!
And since I'm now obsessed with gear requirements for credit card touring -- what did you bring along that added up to 40 pounds (I think you mentioned that amount in a previous posting)?

Another thought... Have you considered (also) publishing a journal about this trip on crazyguyonabike.com? It's great that you're telling your story here, but that site has a different audience (OK, I know, there's definitely overlap!) and I think readers there would love to see your story too. You could take each of your posts here (assuming that there and use them as a day's posting there too.
No pressure, just Denise being her usually semi-wacky self! And I'm happy to read about your trip wherever it is posted.

I Loved the part about showing up at the cabins dripping wet - I'm guessing the innkeeper looked like this:
He probably went back to his wife and said something along the lines of "you won't Believe what just checked in...and we JUST got those carpets clean!".......course he don't know you very well do he! 
You should retitle your posting to "JoBobs Serial Adventures" or "The Journeys of JoBob" and end each segment with a hanging sentence.............
LOLOL
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

What a great journal, I am also inspired to do a similiar trip; this is one of my favorite parts of the region here. Hmm, I think now I need that Atlantis or Saluki....

Heh, you nearly got your wish. We had a big layoff at my workplace yesterday. I'm one of the "keepers" (for once !)

Sorry about that. I didn't know I had such power. I promise to use it only for my own good.
