I would highly suggest staying at the Hostel on Main in Rockwood, PA. The proprietor is pretty cool about bike storage and inexpensive lodging. A couple of good places for a beer and sandwich nearby. One time while passing through town a Historical Society offered me a free pork and mashed potatoes dinner. LOL

Thanks to Rivnuts for the encouragement to ride across my home state of Michigan. I rode from Kalamazoo to South Haven and back to Jackson. Future advice is that navigating into Battle Creek, MI is problematic. The Kalamazoo River Valley Trail (KRVT) ends while approaching BC and roads such as M-199 are disorienting. It added mileage to my bike tour as well as some traffic.
