Not in PA

Although resting in Gettysburg for an extra day is an appealing proposition, I start to get itchy feet around 10:00 and feel as though staying longer would almost be transgressing against the first tenet of the trip: walking. So, we're back on 212 heading for Seneca with a light breeze and mostly overcast skies. Perfect weather for a leisurely stroll.

Not too far outside of town we receive a welcome surprise when officer Bill catches up with our funny little caravan of two. What's more, he's brought his wife and son along to meet us. Buddy's always keen to make new friends, but it certainly doesn't hurt if they've brought him a bag of treats. I'm glad these folks have taken the time to stop and say 'hi.' Sometimes the walking undermines the more valuable purpose of this journey: getting to know people. My sincere thanks thanks to the Wainman family for your kind donations as well as the interest you've taken in this trip.
