We woke up at Scott's house to the smell of "garbage eggs," a delicious scramble he had whipped up. He took us to his workplace in Athens, a center that offers services for people dealing with mental illness. We had coffee and talked with some of the members of the Gathering Place before heading out on our way.
The day was as rainy as the day before, and we were thoroughly drenched by the time we reached Coolville for a snack. Luckily, there was a wide shoulder most of the way, so the riding was easy.
We crossed over the Ohio River into West Virginia! Our next stop was in Parkersburg for a (late) lunch. We were thrilled to find a Lebanese restaurant and ate heartily, much thanks to Rick, who comped our meal. Rick also called Roger, a reporter from the Parkersburg newspaper, who came to the restaurant and interviewed us about the ride. Even better, Roger gave us some good information about a cabin right on Route 50, so we didn't have to get off track and camp in the rain as we had planned.

Now that you're really on the home stretch; what kind of ceremonial finish are you planning? Will you ride all the way to the Atlantic? Settle for the Potomac or Chesapeake Bay? Can you ride across the Bay Bridge?
