After New Oxford, I follow famous Route 30 for a little ways, but I'm quite glad to get away from it--too much traffic . Instead I take "Ox Bon" road which meanders through the countryside, towards my next town, Bonneauville. A nice, peaceful walk, a chance to ponder on my travels of years past, pausing occasionally to snap a photo of an interesting barn or a herd of horses. As I'm doing little traveling these days, I'm finally getting caught up on my writing, currently writing about my 2006 trip to Central Western Africa.

Bonneauville, is not a very cohesive town--but it's a "borough", so I'm definitely counting it as a town. It has a humble borough building, with a sign showing it's open just a few hours a week, with the phone number for who you can call if you need a service during off hours. Looks like a much more efficient system then having an army of bureaucrats sitting around 5 days a week.

Do a little loop, enjoy a peaceful Parkbench session in the park, then head on towards Gettysburg. A couple miles down the road the markers begin: such and such regiment or cavalry had a skirmish here... I'm looking forward to really thinking over this whole Civil War thing and how it's portrayed in the history books... but I'm going to save that until I wander around the famous battlefield of Gettysburg...

Finally up over a ridge, and there it is: the climax of this sidetrip of my Superhike.
