Team Lynn strikes out again!!!

So the morning started off with a bang. This included eggs, bacon, hash rounds, pancakes, and waffles with the Kuhns. After breakfast they dropped us off at a truckstop where the day began to go south, literally yet also figuratively. I think we talked to every trucker there (approx. 300) and they were all going east. So around 12pm we finally found a man named Steve Romo, he proceeded to drop us off near a bus stop, but told us on the way how he has hitchhiked all over, including to alaska and also down the mississippi. At that point we were in Hamburg and the bus driver told us how to get to Reading where we could catch a bus to Harrisburg and eventually find a better route west. Arriving in Reading the bus driver then gave us our money back and pointed us in the right direction. Bus tickets were outrageously expensive, but due to our stealth skills in bribing the inner city employee of the town we managed to get some free bus tickets... Now we are stuck in Harrisburg for a while until our brains begin working in our favor again. So actually another random act of kindness just happened while typing this, a guy named james just offered us some left over pizza and coookies without even knowing we needed food!!!!!! Pretty pumped about that and trying to dream good dreams tonight that somehow by the time I wake up we will be farther west of Harrisburg. Over and knocked out for the night.

Hey Team Lynn. You guys seem to be enjoying the scenic tour of the US, maybe try a north flank around the great lakes, into Canada and then drop in from the north, you'll surprise the other teams cause they will be looking for you from the east! Really you are doing great, keep pushing forward!! Maybe ya'll could go see a Cubs game. Jack A

Jack - Based on travels, I'm guessing you were talking about a Cubs game in the 09 season.
