At least the tree has a home!

Had to take a detour and stumbled upon this well built house on route 331 in Ohio.

Bridge in the background is the main one into Ohio.

Sunset in Wheeling WV. This was a metal grated bridge, bad for riding a scooter over.

One last goodbye Pittsburgh.

Little late but on the road

So the day has come and at one point I thought well I could leave tomorrow. It was 5 o'clock when I finally got everything packed and ready, just in time for rush hour traffic. I'm currently in Wheeling WV. Taking only 3 hours. Setup tent next to a ballfield and as I'm having a beer, a bright spotlight comes upon me. Oh no I say, what do the coppers want? So I got up and headed to them. Said I was from Pittsburgh traveling through and just going to stay the night. They were ok about it. "But if any neighbors call us for any nosie". I thought jeez what do they think I'm going to do, rev my engine up at 3 in the morning? Well the stars are out and I'm going to finish my beer.

So 8 days left to go before I head off. The trip has been cut down to two months. I'll only ride to St. Louis, Chicago,Columbus,and Gettysburg for their rallies. Stoping in between hopefully some smaller places on the way. Finally got to putting a shifting cross in,after two goes. Made a minor mistake. But as with tinker with the bike, I've came to another problem. The main bolt that holds half the engine to the fame is not coming out. Thinking that a little hammer hitting would knock it loose, I damage the threads on the end. So my task now is to fix the threads and try another time to get that bolt off. Cause as of now I'm riding without a nut on the end. One good thing is that bolt isn't moving anywhere off the bike, yeah to rust. Now on to figuring on what to take.
