Oh My Aching Back (and Knees)

Before getting to the theme of tonight's  blog, let's  return for a moment to yesterday's post. I described job pie, but I misheard the recipe. Long-handled campfire implements use for two sided grilled cheese sandwiches are used...two slices of buttered bread, with pie filling grilled in the middle instead of cheese. Add some ice cream and you have one happy camper.

Tonight's campground is 60 miles south of last night. We stopped halfway for a rendezvous with Legion Commander Carl Atkinson and a reporter from the Hastings, MI newspaper, then arrived in camp near Climax, and we're soon invaded by local and regional Legion and Scouting reps. Since we  are between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, both groups were represented. Since Battle Creek is the home of Kelloggs, we gifted with boxes of snacks and sweet cereals that will keep the boys happy until we get to NYC.

I had to get my knee iced after today's ride...too much wear and tear on all the hills. A couple of days ago, it was my back. It's Inuprofin time! Glad that tomorrow's journey is shortish. And once again, we will stop midway for another press conference! We should be old pros by the time we get to NYC.
