Miles: 57.9 - Total miles: 239.8 - Total ascent: 8,606 ft.Pennsylvania is absolutely gorgeous! Thought this was an interesting memorial in a little town called Nescopeck. Today was the first day of hassle-free riding. Although, I did make a quick stop at a K-Mart to buy some pepper spray (those farm dogs out in the country can be pretty bothersome). I also managed to find a KFC at lunch time - yum! yum! I am making a video journal of my thoughts and experiences along the way. As I was nearing Selinsgrove, I stopped at Three Brothers Pizza to refill my water bottles. These four employees were beside themselves that you could actually pedal a bike from New York to L.A. I had enough time, so I broke out the video camera, snapped this photo, and interviewed the girl in the red. If the ride itself weren't unique enough, these experiences sure will make great memories.

Okay, second attempt, this time without grammatical errors!
Chip, you amaze me! How cool was it to be there with you at Sandy Hook and watch the ceremonial dip. I hope today's journey brings people along the way that will make the trip easier. I know you'll bless their lives just by their either seeing you or meeting you. Carpe Diem, friend! Jeanette
I LOVE seeing all the pictures along the way, Chip! I also love that you have the mileage on the blog. That is fun to read (fun cause I'm not the one pedaling!) :) May today be full of wonderful experiences. Everyone here asks about you. I proudly hand them a card and tell them all about it. I love you!
Hey there buddy! Glad that you had a "smoother" day. Needless to say....The PA police dept send you there support and are sorry for having to pull you off the interstates. Those darn rules!! One officer called me back and thinks you are the greatest for what you are doing!! Love the pictures!!!
You are such an inspiration to all of us at home. Keep it up and we are here for you whatever you may need us to do. I never thought the PTO president could be one of my role models, but you are.
Hey Chip, if your gonna eat pizza everyday don't forget to get your exersise in. You don't want to put on any weight while on your vacation. :)
Love you.......Gramps
Hey Chip, it has been amazing to watch all this and talk a little bit along the way. You are amazing. Just keep on rolling! We talk about your adventure with the kids everyday and can't wait to cheer for you as you end your ride here. Also, Tracy is a true champ. I could not hold down the fort like she is and with one more child in tow!! She is fantastic and deserves a ton of recognition as well. We love you guys and will see you soon. Andrea

It's exciting to look at your blog nightly and see where you've been and what you've seen! Glad to see yesterday's ride went smoother. I was talking to my parents about your journey and they are amazed at your dedication. Keep it up, you are an inspiration and a great example to us all!
Curious - What did you fill your water bottles up with at the Pizza shop? :) Mountain Dew? Or are you actually taking a liking to the pure stuff? :)-Nikki
Chip - It was great meeting you today at the Mount Union Minit Mart. It's so nice to see someone do something for others in such a big way! Please let me know if you actually bike all the way to the top of Cresson Mountain! Enjoy your stay in Huntingdon. -Annette
