The road will wait

After the 40 mile hike from our last camp, it's become clear that both me and Bud need an extended break from the road. So we're going to remain here in Brookfield for a week. That should be enough time to get Buddy's pads back to tip top shape, and help me plan for the next leg of the trip.

As an update, I've decided to change our route to continue east on our current path. Instead of going south to St Louis and then east through a labyrinth of roads, 36 will take us into the mid west, bringing us as far as Indianapolis.

  2. Do you mean Brookfield? I used to live about 15 miles back to the west in Meadville. Best you take a week off as it is to be in the mid 90's all next week with a chance of storms by Wed. Take it easy from here on out until the latter half of Aug. Will be hot and humid. Best if you can travel by night if you can. Praying for safe travels for you and Buddy.

  3. Yeah, Brookfield. It's been great watching the puppy resurface as Bud gets the rest he needs.

    As you mentioned, things are getting hot. So To deal with the issue we'll only be walking mornings and evenings, at least until the temperature gets more tolerable for Bud.
