Two lazy days in the Simmering heat of Pottsfield which is a really nice town set in a dramatic location ringed by steep, wooded hills. I'm doing as little as possible during the day to conserve energy for tomorrow when the heatwave will have broken. I'm posting stuff onto California which will lighten the bike & make things a bit easier. Managed to blag my way in to the public library internet for a 2nd day (the librarians weren't a bit impressed but let me on all the same. They have the stereotypical ones here). I found out the oldest brewery in the States is in Pottsfield. Also the famous Molly Maguires came to prominence here when 9 of them were hanged by the local authories. Richard Harris & Sean Connery featured in a film about the whole episode so no doubt, Dad, you've seen that film!! Thunderstorms are forecast for later this evening so All should be clear for the morning.
