Gary Buffington's Bike Ride Across America

A 62 year old retired ER doctor and former Appalachian Trail end-to-end hiker attempts to ride his bike across America from the Pacific to the Atlantic. He rode 1100 miles last year and has 527 miles planned for this 2007 trip. His 85 year old friend, Cimarron the Trail Boss, has also walked the entire AT (in his 82nd and 83rd years) and will crew from a 1995 VW EuroVan.

NTP To Ratliff Ferry Mile Post 123

Today we rode 69 miles to a private campground. The camping facility was flat and there was a shower room in fair shape. Near our site was a bath house that was the most filthy I have ever seen. The sink was half full of water and some of it was undoubtedly urine. The store was closed but they left us in only to say, "of course there is no food, the store is closed!" Then the restaurant manager said, "you only missed the restaurant by a minute." Where do these people learn interpersonal relationships? It is so much easier to say, "Sorry, we're closed."
