Song of the day: Killer Queen – Queen
We left our sleeping spot in the bath house and hit the road. The day was pretty much uneventful except for one encounter at lunch. We stopped in Colesburg for lunch and the only place that was open was the local tavern. We ordered some burgers and sat in a booth. At the same time that we were there 4 or 5 loud guys sat at the bar. After much hooting and hollering they became interested in us. We carried on a conversation with them and we thought they were nuts. They thought we were crazy as well. They were on their weekly trip around the countryside stopping at every bar possible. As we left, they drove by and yelled at us all the way down the street.
We tried to take this bike trail, but had to join back with the road because the bike trail was closed due to the recent flooding. We reached our destination and are staying with Whompy’s friend Jon.

Gavin,
This is my first time to visit your website… I just finished reading all the entries! I’m very jealous… well, not the whole sleeping outside thing. I really enjoy my bed, but I love that you truly live life to the fullest! You’re gonna be one of those old guys who have the craziest stories to tell your grandkids.
Well Tim and I are going to be keeping up with your journal entries. We love you.
Oh by the way, I think it’s awesome you’re doing this to raise money for WCYC! I loved that camp.
Much Love and Prayers,
Sara
