Day 8 - Now this is more like it!

We break camp at the Y under a threat of rain, but it turns out to be a spectacular day as we head up the Great Allegheny Passage towards the eastern Continental Divide. Finally, we get some beautiful vistas and some variety along the trail. This is probably the best day of riding of the trip and we realize, in hindsite, that we should have started in Cumberland and just done the GAP trail out and back. We stop in Frostburg, MD for some sandwiches and a cold Fat Tire before continuing across the Divide and then down to Rockwood, PA under a renewed chance of rain. We manage to set up camp dry and head across the river for the requisite cold beer.
