This is jumping ahead a little bit, and I'll try to go back and fill in a little bit later on, but yesterday was such a neat day – we arrived at the Atlantic Ocean, where I have never before been (although I believe that all of the others have, at one time or another), so it's back home all the way from here on . . .
We, of course, had to go sit by the ocean and toast the occasion – with some champagne from the Pleasant Valley Winery in the NY Finger Lakes region. We all exulted over having completed a long and strenuous journey, although all agreed that it had been a great adventure in itself! [Note re the pictures: It was completely dark when we got to the beach since we arrived just at sundown, so the pictures are either close with flash or night-time exposures with somewhat strange color. That's the Atlantic in the background . . . ]
Our odometer registered about 70 miles short of four thousand miles we've traveled since leaving home in Seattle. [Now there has been a little back and forth, a little off the road to a campground, etc., but that's fairly close . . . ]
Tomorrow morning will be somewhat difficult – facing the question "Now what?"
