 Concealed Carry Magazine and Ice Cream in Hell

Eastern Oregon .... it was hot as Hades basically.  107 in the shade.  You are truly riding across a hellish landscape of basalt flows stacked one on top of the other that act as the biggest and most efficient radiant heater you have ever seen.   The basalt is covered by burnt up, straw-like grasses and the entire landscape is sketched by thin lines of green that correspond to small streams draining the highland and cottonwoods slurping up water.  Ya’ll come see us!  You never see THAT description in the tourist flyers.   

If you live in Hell you do two things: 1. You become overly concerned with what the Lord thinks and 2.  you open up an ice cream place.  The young fellow in Dayville, Oregon did the later. 


He made a damn fine ice cream shake. Hanging on the walls of his ice cream parlor he hung various animal skins; buffalo ($1200), coyote, fox and ...wait for it Timber Wolf. 

Yep you heard me right.  Little Red Riding Hood got nothin’ on these people. On the tables of his ice cream parlor he had placed the latest reading material – Concealed Carry Magazine. 

Now, I don’t know about you but I had ZERO idea that such a magazine existed.  It clearly speaks to the total number of people who want to know everything they can get on Concealed Carry Weapons.  There was a good article on Kyle Rittenhouse.  You remember him, the 17 year old whose mom took him up to a riot in Kenosha Wisconsin with his gun so he could “protect people’s property” which he did by provoking an attack then shooting the people.

Mama’s little man.  He was acquitted and now is a celebrity.

The Ice Cream Man had a rather large side arm; maybe a 9 mm semi-automatic.  No way was I gonna as for extra gemmys on my cone (“You want what!?!?”).  I could imagine an Ice Cream Man might need a big gun to control the run on the ice cream store that comes with livin in hell.   



To modify a quote from James Earle Jones, "The world is filled with ice cream theft. Because ice cream theives carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise ice cream theives will win and the decent people will lose." – Open Carry Ice Cream Man

    Hmm. Open carry ice cream, where do I get a license?? Better yet, with the way things are looking, I’d rather go for the concealed option!

Well that was an interesting night for sure! I slept in the shack "out back." On my way to the shack to go to bed,  I saw a large feral cat. That sprang my imagination into high speed. Hmm I wonder why it ran under the shack? Will birds and snakes crawl into my shack? Oh bother! When I finally went to sleep, I slept well. No creatures visited in the night.  Monday morning. Up bright and early! Lauran gave me a gentle reminder to wake up. As she had already perked a pot of coffee, I was eager to get up and get going. We all bustled about the place packing and preparing for today's climb; almost identical to yesterday's trajectory. Today we hoped to get started an hour earlier to avoid the predicted high heat. We might make all 58 miles if we planned it right. Donning some very strange looking duck billed visors, we set off into the rising sun. What a fantastic morning. Flying up over hills and down the other side on Hells Canyon Rd. I got a great view of an Elk standin

September 23: Steubensville OH through West Virginia to Pittsburgh PA; 33 miles

View from our hotel in Steubensville Today we started on our 4 trail to finish stretch. And we crossed 2 state borders!  We started on the Panhandle Trail in West Virginia which hooked into the Montour trail that circles around Pittsburgh and eventually connects with the Great Allegheny Passage and lastly the C&O into Washington.  Both the Panhandle and Montour are lovely.   The Panhandle was flat and paved making for excellent riding at top cruising speeds (20 mph)!  The Montour was crushed limestone but smooth.  We traveled across a long trestle bridge and through a 600 ft long tunnel.  Great fun!  Tomorrow we will connect with the GAP for 3 days.  This phase seems like a huge turning point, no more road riding, and.......Pete gave up his noodle! Pete sadly removes his noodle, it seems to be too old to be of use! It was a COLD 🥶morning, temperatures did not get above mid 60s until lunchtime.  The frigid temperature necessitated a stop at the Walden Restaurant in Burgettstown PA.

Day 66: Old Town to Williamsport, 43 miles. An Epic Day all Around!

Pete's Epic Malfunction: he survived to tell the tale! One more day!   Stephanie agreed to SAG today.  Lance, Lisa, Pete and I set off on a crisp sunny morning after a leisurely morning at the school house.  We had heard from cyclist Mitch that there was a paved trail paralleling the C&O that we could pick up in Little Orleans.  Since we needed to SAG around the Paw Paw Tunnel anyways, Stephanie drove us over the mountain on a gravel road to the trailhead.  We were thrilled to see a black bear cross the road in front of us while enroute.  Lisa remarked that she was glad that we were in the car as opposed to on bikes. The Western Maryland rail trail was smooth and easy to navigate.  We enjoyed the fall air and ease of travel.  At Hancock we left the trail to look for lunch.  ONE restaurant was open and they had a 30 minute wait due to not having enough waitstaff and cooks.  We're retired, we have time!  And how could you not want to eat at a restaurant named "Buddylou&#
