Welcome to MD

We left PA and crossed into way western Maryland. We stayed in a cool little town called Cumberland, Maryland. It was dotted with really beautiful churches, but we didn't stay in a church as we so often do. Instead one of our trip leaders hooked us up with a great little space for two nights. It was a old department store that they converted into a huge open space/gallery. Here's a picture of it. Imagine getting all that packed up into our trailer every morning! Well we do it... pretty fast too!

We had a build day in Cumberland, MD too, and it was a blast. We split into two groups. My group worked on putting a set of stairs on the back of the local homeless shelter. It was a badly needed project. We took $500 bike and build dollars to buy the supplies and got to work! Check out these awesome before and afters! The stairs were desperately needed. No back stairs was just plain dangerous, but it also kept insurance bills unsustainably high. We were happy to help out Francis at Restoration of the Heart with this great project.
