Standing next to me is the supercool Chelsea, who graciously offered her couch to me for a night. As you can see behind us is her family's beautiful yard.

Chelsea has a great family (dad is a special education teacher, mom a retired postal worker, and brother is a pro snow boarder) and she is in career transition right now with a lot of good choices on her plate including going back to school or becoming a park ranger which she is passionate about.

I really enjoyed myself at their place! The house and neighborhood were superb, they offered me a great room, stuffed me to the brim with food, and even packed me a snack for the next day!

Great people, stay was way too short!

After my last pair of gloves aka "The Sponge Bobs", supplied by a great friend, malfunctionally soaked up the rain like a sponge during a cold downpour (and later I lost one of the gloves) I had to get a quick replacement. So my current host, Anne, escorted me to Geiger's outdoors shop to save my hands.

While there I came across these pair of Gordini's. They were waterproof, moisture wicking, and would keep my hands warm so I was sold. So I shelled over the money and will see how they perform.

Last night I visited a mind-blowing art gallery in Cleveland, Ohio where I met Mr. Jerry Wang, who creates these excellent Asian scrolls. I found out Mr. Wang lived in Brooklyn, NY before moving to Cleveland to be closer to his daughter, Shaui, who studies music and who also took this photo.

That gallery gave me a lot of inspiration for several pieces I want to create once I return back to NY.

After walking through Mosquito Creek the whole morning with only oatmeal in my belly I was looking for some real food. That's when I had the luck of discovering the Bloomgield Inn and meeting the lovely Rita.

Honestly I would have eaten anything at any price, I was that hungry! Rita made two of the most perfect bacon cheeseburgers with a double serving of fries along with iced tea -- epic meal, the calories were much needed.

She also let me charge my phone and gave me assistance in reaching Chelsea in Chesterland faster. Rita's hospitality was definately top notch.

These two gentleman are Michael Guzik and Stephen Francica. I met in a Subway restaurant after one of my "sleepwalking" sessions and hope they weren't too bored because my lack of sleep.

They attend currently Clarion University, both study music, and both in the school's band program.

I chatted with them a little right before they set up for a party in celebration of school break. They were very much looking forward to going home and spending time with family.

Knox, PA. I was facing south as the sun rose as I walked into the town after a cold night of camping out. In the shot you notice a trailer which there are a lot of in Pennsylvania and parts of Jersey.

Trailers/RV's are usually stationed or parked along side someone's real home. On the actual roads you will see a good portion of the vehicles are pickup trucks.
