Gaithersburg, Maryland to Delta, Pennsylvania -- 88 miles

We woke at 6 am and got out on the road at 6:55 am. The highway we were forced to ride with lots of traffic last night was virtually empty at this early hour. The terrain was rolling and alternated between fields and forest. At one intersection, we tried to flag down a car to check our directions. The woman in the passenger seat just waved at us and gave us the thumbs up. Fortunately, there was a man mowing his lawn who confirmed our route. 

We stopped in Ward's Chapel at a convenience store to get a drink and have lunch. We ran into Donna Stewart and her son Abdi Farah, the roller-bladers we had met in DC! She said she would like to do something like we are doing some day, so we gave her our brochure. We all marveled that we ran into one another again, especially being so far from where we had met.

Lorraine was getting tired, so we checked at a gas station in Reistertown to see if there was a motel but there was none to be had. We stopped at Jarrettsville to get drinks. We crossed into Pennsylvania and took photos. In Delta, we stayed at the Peach Bottom Inn, and had dinner at the restaurant there.
