A Must Stay

Me and David Smith founder of the Knott County Historical Society in
Hindman, KY. Very hospitable especially to bikers. A must stay on the
Trans Am.

Hindman, KY

Well it rained all day and the bike hostel I was heading for closed
down. On top of that I hit 4 serious climbs. Not the best day, but
after 71.3 miles I made it to this great B&B. And David Smith who is
the caretaker of the Hindman Historical Society B&B was kind enough to
let me stay inside out of the rain.

Kentucky

Crossed into Kentucky. After NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, and VA thus is my 6th
state. Should take about 10 days or so. Looking forward to seeing some
friends.

Damascus to Rosedale

It was only 32.8 miles, but more climbing. I got the United Methodist
Church Hostel at about 3. It was more of a church that left its door
open than a hostel. I only so one guy pop in for a minute other than
that I had my run of the place. I laid on a swinging bench outside and
read slapstick by Vonnegut cover to cover. Good day.

Larry and Joe

Larry on the far right helps run "the place" he also has a free long
distance phone on his porch. And Joe in the middle is a biker/hiker
who has done the whole transam and knew larry from other rides through
Damascus. The greatest dudes.
