You forgot to mention that Gina learned a lesson about opening up a  
fresh can of paint while riding.
The result, orange fingers and bar tape.

Had a great time today painting with Woody and Gina. Nice to have  
lunch in Chads Ford with most of you.
Only came back with a few speckles of orange on my shoes.
Got a good lesson on the art of arrow painting from Master Woody.

There are some issues with the 65 cue sheet and the directions from  
the top of Sweetwater.
Our cue sheet indicated a left turn as was done last year.
Other cue sheets indicated a right turn the way we use to go.
Actually Woody came up with the best return route.
Back to the old way with a left turn after the bridge with the  
terrible road surface.
Up the road that takes you to the Penn State campus.
Cut across part of the Penn State campus out to the light on Rt. 352.
Cross straight across Rt. 352 at the light and then back into the the  
Park the way we did in previous years.

We need this final bit of the long routes finalized and make sure all  
cue sheets agree.
May need to touch up some arrows in this area some evening this week.
