GAP: day 4

One of the best parts of B&Bs is meeting the other guests at breakfast and learning about their ride and where they’re from, like this family from a small town near Ottawa. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Now we’re following Casselman Creek upstream. We have been gradually climbing toward the Eastern Continental Divide since we left Pittsburgh.

Each day, Billie and I start out riding the trail while JD drives to our next destination and rides back to meet us. His riding has somewhat curtailed by a fall a couple of days ago, one knee is really banged up.

We stayed at the Morguen Toole Company in Meyersdale. While the restaurant is on the second floor, the salad bar is on the first floor and our room was on the third floor. That would be 40 steps to climb several times to get all our stuff into the room. JD was spared multiple trips due to his leg injury. We were in the FOE Tap Room named for a previous use of the building during the Prohibition era. FOE stands for Federal Order of the Eagle (not Evil).
