Day two! yeah!

Made it to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. It was a great day.  Legs are tired but not aching tonight.  I don't know when I crossed over into Pennsylvania.  That is one of the things about using bike trails and back roads.   I just suddenly noticed that all of the license plates were Pennsylvania.   I didn't even know I was in Philadelphia until I stopped at a mini-Mart and asked where I was.  That was a rush.  So I pressed on through Philadelphia to the schuylkill River bike trail.  It was a rush to find it.  It is beautiful.  The bike trails today have been beautiful.  Ducks and baby geese and very tame.  And tons of birds.  Saw one beautiful red bird. I'll have to see what it is. 

The last five miles was an adventure.  I planned to stop at Norristown so calledy daughter Jenna to find me a hotel.  The only one she could find was an expensive Beat Weatern that the reviews said Internet was horrible and no plugins in the room   I have to charge everything every night so that wasn't going to work. So we decide i would press on to King of Prussia five miles further down the trail.  At Norristown it started to rain. It was heavy winds and a down pour. I could barely see. It blew a tree down across the trail. Had to get off and carry the bike across.  Then I got to where I was suppose to leave the trail and cross a bridge to the hotel and the bridge was out.  Construction!  Bane of my life multiple times today.  The only way to get across was to go back always and take the freeway across.  That was an adventure but went well. Not sure about in the morning.  

But doing well.
