<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(26,26,26)">The route today was along Pumpkinvine Trail. There were places where the trail was interrupted
by public roads. But it was easy to bridge from one trail interruption to
another. There were many trees providing much shade. And fog covered the sky, which
made the ride a little chilly. When I arrived at Shipshewana, Faith informed me
that I was the first Marcher to be ‘Adopted’. Adoption is another one of our
fundraising activities. And Joan Wallace was the one who adopted me. She was in the Rochester House with us in 1970. She was also the one who made my Omaha visit
so memorable. Adoption means that I get some massages from my travel companions!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><br></p>

I scouted out the campsite and then went to the Flea Market. When I packed for
the March I used 2 large bags: one for clothes, and one for camping equipment.
In anticipation of our trip to NYC I needed a travel bag that I could put on
the bus and/or the subway. I found one and purchased it. Then I came back to
the campsite and journaled. When Izzy arrived we set up the Taj Mahal. It had
been a long time since we put it up. There was a camp meeting at 4:30pm. It
went until dinner was ready. We interrupted the meeting, served ourselves, and then
continued the meeting. A good deal of the meeting had to do with the NYC trip.
It seems there are still many details to ‘iron-out’. The meeting lasted until
8pm. It was dark and chilly when we went to bed.</span><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(26,26,26)"></span></p>
