GAP – day 2

We were on the road at 6:30, it was going to be another hot humid day. DSC02485DSC02486The innkeeper packed us a traveling breakfast (because we refused to stay until 7 am when the kitchen officially opened). Six miles down the road at Dravo Cemetery, we took our first break and had a bite of food. The oldest grave dates back to the War of 1812. A Methodist church was built here in 1824, destroyed by fire in 1920, and never rebuilt. DSC02487At about the halfway point, we stopped at Jeff’s house. He has a sign on the trail to attract riders and a refrigerator stocked with all kinds of goodies which operates on the honor system.DSC02492Jeff first brought us, freshly picked from his garden, watermelon. Then cucumbers. Then picked 3 ears of corn and soon brought us hot, buttered, salted corn on the cob. Delicious!DSC02494Further down the trail were old abandoned coke ovens.DSC02497The arch into Connelsville was a welcome sight. DSC02499We had 3 hours to kill before we could get into our B&B for the evening, so we hung out at a local park. It was hot, but better than riding and being even hotter.DSC02500Once settled in and showered, we headed downstairs to Greenhouse Winery – a wine bar. DSC02502After tasting a few samples, we bought a bottle and went back to the B&B patio to enjoy itDSC02504before walking to the nearest restaurant for dinner.DSC02505Miles = 41
