Well, I'm still alive, no sign of any black market surgery, so I guess all is well. Packed up the tent and headed down to Port Clinton. I attempted hitching into Hamburg for about 10 minutes with no success. I think as my beard gets scragglier, people will be less likely to pick me up. Nevertheless, I did get resupplied and that's what counts. I set down my pack in front of one of the hotels in PC just to take a rest for a bit, buy a drink from the vending machine. Then this guy and his wife walk out and he starts talking to me about army boots and having to change your socks twice a day or something. I played dumb and asked him if there were any grocery stores in town. "No, but Hamburg has some." hehe... "Hamburg? How far is that?" I'm so evil. So I ended up getting a ride with these folks, not to Hamburg, but to some Egyptian bazaar / farmers market type of place. Basically a poor-man's Price Club. I was able to piece together enough of what I needed to get to the DWG. They gave me a ride back to PC (they were headed to the farmers market anyway, so I'm not that evil). Packed up my food and got back on the trail at 1:40pm. Did a pretty fast 15 miles to the Eckville Shelter by 8pm. Cool place. Like 501, there's a house next door where the caretaker lives. Rollin' (SOBO) and VA G-man are here.
