Friday, July 29, 2005 to Gibson, Pennsylvania
The events of the weekend are not particularly relevant to this log, but we had a good time. |

| Distance: About 215 miles. | ||
Sunday, July 31, 2005 Gibson, PA Middlesex, PennsylvaniaAbout 12 noon, Mike and I
left Hillside for the journey west, taking I-81 and I-80 across
Pennsylvania. The day was great -- even though hot in the mid-90's
most of the way with just a light shower as we passed over the mountains
of central Pennsylvania and the highest point on Interstate 80 east of the
Mississippi I realized, after talking with Richard in the evening, that my blood pressure medications were left at home, and Richard arranged to mail them to our motel in Springfield, MO. I didn't want to go a full two weeks without them, especially with the hot weather we were expecting out West. |

About 9 am, we left Long
Island for the Hillside campground near Gibson, Pennsylvania where were
spending the weekend with about 20 other members and friends of the Long
Island Ravens MC. Richard was driving the truck with many supplies.
We met Mike at exit 63 on the Long Island Expressway, and Chaz at exit 32.
The trip was relatively uneventful, except for a minor (but not too smart)
confrontation John had with a tractor-trailer truck at the Ramapo service
area on the New York State Thruway, and the confusion John created among
the others in the caravan as a result.
