My son died from complications of epilepsy 4 years ago today. It was obvious, that on the good days, he loved life. I will do my best to love life as well.
Welcome to Vermont. Green as far as the eye can see in every direction. Also more wet mountain roads for me. I made a slight discovery over the course of the last 25 days. It doesn't matter what state you live in, there is "country" everywhere you go. I am not saying that is good or bad, it is what it is.
This is my first covered bridge of the trip and it is no longer being used by cars. It was used as a sleeping pad when I went by it.
You can't come to Maine without getting a lobster roll, so I threw on my thickest accent and turned to Charlie and said, "hey Charlie...let's go get a lobster roll and some chowder." So that is what we did.
Speaking of Charlie; here he is. I left Alaska and my pal Charlie in August of 2001. We reconnected on Facebook earlier this year. Catching up with your old friends is the best. We even rode our bikes to the beach, and then to get lobster rolls. Also I want to stress the importance of being around your friends and family on tough days Charlie made this day easier
Tomorrow I start my journey south towards Florida. I am going to try and gain a half day the next two days and be ahead of schedule 3 days. And I found out I am almost 1000 miles over my estimation for this far in the trip. Let's hope my tires hold out.
