Day 11. Wooster to Lisbon Ohio. 72 miles

     It was a long day, due to roads, hills and weather. I left early, 4:30, to hopefully miss the forecasted heavy rain. That did help. I only had rain about the last 10 miles. As I waited under an umbrella of trees for the side winds and rain to slow, a car stopped and asked if I knew where a road was. I said I had no clue, I was from Iowa. I did get a weird look.
     It was rather dark when I left. As I was driving past a farm, I saw the cutest lawn ornaments. They were little cows curled up,or so I thought, until one lifted it's head and said "BAA". I saw some ducks in a little pond later on. When I backed up to take their picture, they decided it was time to leave and waddled off. A lot of the animals I see, dogs and horses especially, seem quite perplexed when I ride by. Not a common sight I guess.
     The one road I traveled was made of cinder rock. As I rode, I kept noticing "bike" tracks. I thought it was pretty cool that I wasn't the only one using the road. Finally I realized they were buggy tracks. I was in the midst of Amish country.
     I met another gentleman when on the bike path near Dalton. I stopped to ask if I was headed the right way to get to Lisbon. He looked a little puzzled and then said " yes, but it's a LONG way." I said that's o.k. because I'm headed to New York. That did start a conversation.
     A fun, but long day. I was very lucky with the weather.
     As I leave Ohio, one observation. They have a lot of cemetaries, some of which are very large.
     Another state done. Off to PA!
