DAY 14 - Burnham, PA to Stroudsburg, PA
Gene's Thoughts and Comments of June 30th part of ride:
Hey everyone we are almost there. Pulling out of the hotel early today. We can’t wait to get home. Still trying to figure our way home. It seemed to change dally because of all the water damage and flooding around here. Today seemed to be smooth sailing. We had our mileage figured and the terrain was much nicer than yesterday with wide winding roads through the Amish country. People drive a little crazy around here probably vacationers from Jersey.
Had one detour and I had to take a bridge that was out of the way but it was not a problem just kept pedaling. Every stroke of the pedal brings us closer to home and we cannot wait to see everyone. I really miss my family and I cannot believe I’ve been away from them so long so I’ll make it short today and say we are all safe and strong. We are stronger in allot of ways even more than before we started. I wouldn’t say we’ve been through hell or anything but there were times it was really difficult, but in some way you all helped us through. Thank you for that. We are in Stroudsburg tonight and eating Country Cooking at a buffet style dinner.
It’s been my pleasure getting to see the country with Donnie and Jason and as much as I do not want to ride my bike for a wile I am going to miss you guys.
