Went to Kinsua Dam and did some sketches then a small oil painting. At reservoir I ran for 35 minutes and did tai chi then went for a dip. I had left my running shoes on the front bumper but didn't realize until I got gas and saw there was only one. returned 34 miles to find it. Saw a real strange animal near dusk-looked half black panther and half black bear, It was big like a but real short hair like a panther and head like a panther or big mastiff dog. Stopped for the night at traffic stop along 17 approaching Jamestown. I was woken in the middle of the night by police who said my van fit the description in a homicide case, however convinced it wasn't me and I went back to sleep. Rest areas in the east are the worst places to stay.
