Unfortunately I wont be continuing the trip.  Mostly since I haven't been able to solve the tire problem and my credit card number was stolen.  I am going to try and plan the trip for a later date and hopefully be more prepared. Thank you to all who donated.  

Sorry for not keeping up with the blog. My phone battery doesn't last too long and I need the charge I have for the gps. I'll give you a brief update and when I reach a computer ill give a more in depth account.
The second day was extremely hot and tiring.  I could only do about 60 miles with the heat.  It completely drains all your energy and the rolling hills take the rest.  Eventually I reached hidden acres campground.  The guy at the site next to me was an sniper in the marines for 32 years and had been living at the campsite for 2 months.  He had self proclaimed anger and drinking problems.  At first this was unsettling but later he.brought me some fire wood and candles.  That night it was stormy but the thunder was calming and the rain cooling.
Yesterday the temp never dropped below 97 until night fall.  I was going through water so quickly I had to stop every hour.  It was impossible to stay focused.  That night I got a campsite by  York and finally got some sleep. 
Today was substantially better than the last two.  The cloud coverage kept the temps around 83 for most of the morning and afternoon.  I had plenty of energy all day but 2 flat tires took up a bit of my time; more than they should have.  A farmer named Rich let me use his air compressor then I talked with him for 15mins or so.  After that I headed towards gettysburgh.  Flat roads don't exist anymore; you're either going up or down.  It feels like its mostly up. One exponential climb was 3.5 miles, I also managed to hit it right as the sun came out around 4 and the temp rose to 95. I was told there's another steeper, longer one a few miles up the road ill have to take on tomorrow. I'm sure its just one of many. 

All my pics are on my camera so ill have to upload them when I reach a computer.

Day 1

I launched yesterday from Long Branch, NJ and rode 79.7 miles to my home in Feasterville, PA.  The graffiti in Long Branch was well done but apart from that the town wasn't too interesting and a little run down.  I chose long branch as the starting location because it was, for the most part, the shortest route across NJ.  Drivers in NJ were surprisingly well behaved and the road quality was bearable.  Much of the scenery was the same small houses and fields over and over.  Occasionally new housing developments popped up in the middle of the farmlands; the large estate style homes were completed but unoccupied.  I took 206 into Trenton then crossed the Delaware river on Bridge St.  Trenton is my least favorite city in general and riding a bike through it solidified this opinion.  The roads are bumpy  from being patched and re-patched dozens of times, it was a mosaic of concrete, asphalt, and stone. My house is only about 10 miles from the Delaware river so it was a quick ride home on familiar roads once I crossed into PA.
     
The trailer will be the most consistent issue on the trip.  On the flats and downhill it's stable and nearly unnoticeable.  However, climbing and standing while pedaling are a big hassle.  The bike instantly become weighed down on hills and it doesn't help that I've only got a double chain ring.  While standing the entire bike flexes like a wet noodle.  If this becomes too much of a hindrance I'll look to swap out some cassette gears for easier climbs.       

As for now I'm at home and continuing on tomorrow morning.  I'm using today to finalize everything and reorganize and adjust my route, gear, and bike.  Tomorrows goal is to camp around Lancaster, most of my route will be along US 30 once I'm west of Norristown.
