I've actually never had trouble with dogs yet. I'm from Ohio so I don't think the wind or humidity are that different from what I'm used to dealing with and I've been doing some extra climbing to prepare. Looks like a good part of day two will have no access to food. I'll probably end up eating pb&j on the side of the road. I'll be looking for some good food to fill up on when I get into Columbus. Catrin, aromig any suggestions?
