Ohio to Indiana to Illinois!

Busy, busy day today. I've put together two different "movies" that give you an overview of the entire day so be sure to watch both of them (you'll have to scroll). Met some great people from MN at the campground tonight. They are farmers and their boys are down here competing in a B-Ball tournement. They have 107 people in their entire town! They live right near the ND line. We had a lot of fun chatting.



Day in PA

So, here's the video post of the day going through PA. I'm learning how to play with the Flip Video so tell me whether or not you like the music in the background. :) I'm leaving this morning for Indiana. I'll try to get yesterdays footage up today.

Columbus Ohio

Hello there. It's very late on Wednesday night and although I'm trying to upload my new video footage YouTube is taking a long time. So, you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning for me to upload. Of course, since it is close to midnight now you probably woulnd't have known otherwise!

Had a very busy day today touring Urban Active clubs. My friend, Sean Phillips is one of the VP's for the company. Some of you may remember that he used to be with Fitness First in the UK.

Kona had a great time here with Sean and Heidi's two Bernese Mountain Dogs Diesel and Tank. Appropriate names for dogs that weigh in at 160 and 140 lbs! Their huge yard is totally fenced in so Beannie had a blast. I'll post the video in the morning.

Day 1 of US Tour: My drive to PA

Hello! I'm here at the Seven Mountains Campground in Spring Mills, PA. Left Wakefield about 9am this morning and pulled in here at 5. Long drive but, once I got close we took a bit of a scenic route to get here. It was really beautiful; valleys of solid green, amazing farmhouses with stunning scenery of the barns and silos. Ended up going through an Amish area which was really neat. Guys with horse and carriage, straw hats and people working the land with animals like a time gone by. It was great to see kids without a cell phone or an iPod in their hands!

I noticed something interesting today; did you know that PA has mile markers every 1/10th of a mile! I'm serious--they have a sign every 10th of a mile that has the mile on the top and the 10th at the bottom. This goes on for hundreds of miles! I realize there may be a nice safety feature if someone is broken down and they can say, "I'm a mile marker 245 and 7/10th's" but my goodness, what a waste and an eyesore to boot.

Campground nice. Small but got a shady spot, which was good. Didn't unpack anything except the necessities as we will pull out of here no later than 7am. Have two clubs to visit tomorrow just East of Pittsburgh and then head to Columbus, OH. I'll do some video tomorrow for this personal blog but if you want to see the video I posted for today on the business blog, go to:

Talk to you tomorrow. CC and Kona
