Fwd: GMCA Sept 24-25
*WED SEP 24* *Archbold to Delta, OH* Shira didn’t ask me about bike riding. The route had trails again so I stuck to the highway—Hwy 20A. The Campground had another amphitheater. This one was bigger. I chose a spot in the back to put my bedroll. Izzy left the March to participate in his daughter’s wedding. And he’ll also volunteer some time at the Omega Institute in NYC. He’ll join the March in a couple of weeks. Delta has a lovely library. It was on the way to the campsite. It also had several thrift stores. I missed them but learned that JJ stopped in one and got a GPS instrument for his truck. I've been considering the same but haven’t found the right one yet. Most of them require an electrical support—a connection to the cigarette lighter in the car. I don’t have a cigarette lighter outlet on my bike! The afternoon and evening was easy going. John Abbe and several others are still in NYC. I suspect the pace will pick up when those in NYC return. I picked a spot that was near an electrical outlet and Doug was showing a DVD on his computer. So I had to go to sleep with the DVD script. People asked me in the morning “How did you sleep?” I have only one response, “When I go to bed I go to sleep!” *THU SEP 25* *Delta to Maumee, OH* People seemed to be slow in getting ready to leave the campsite this morning. I got on my bike and left. The next campsite was in Maumee at St Paul’s Episcopal Church. We were able to sleep inside the church. I put my bedroll in the auditorium and then found the local library. We were able to use the kitchen and the pastor offered us the opportunity to take showers in the parsonage. There were no camp meetings. It was marvelous to be able to sleep inside. I think Doug, gear truck driver, was using the church library to show more films. Tomorrow is a 9 mi. March to Toledo, so breakfast isn’t until 7:30 and departure at 9 AM. Even so I went to bed at 8:30pm. -- Peace, David
