US Road Trip 2017, Day 16.
With a super-casual application of my Campus School math, I have lingered too long on the trail, and it is time to go home. So, today it was back on the road. Fourteen hours of driving took me from Northern New York to the eastern edge of Tennessee. All in all, the drive was good.…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 15.
The last day in Potsdam started on a good note. I slid out to the house and grabbed dad to go golfing. There was a little discussion before we were off, but we were off. A nice trip out to Raymondville through the big town of Madrid, and to the Raquette River Country Club. In…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 14.
Sunday in Smalltown USA was pretty quiet. I also woke up a little hungover, so it was extra quiet. Took a trip out to mom and dad’s that lasted most of the day. Had a nice talk with Pops will mom was coming home from church. I spent most of the day with them. On…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 13.
It’s interesting to leave a place you know well and then come back to it. At first everything is the same. Everything looks just like you left it. But then, as you look a little harder, you notice that things have changed. Such is the case with my home town. I used this little village…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 12.
Sadly, today started with some work. I had to get the computer out and answer some work emails. It didn’t take long, but it emotionally pulled me from vacation mode for a few minutes. My excuse for work complete, I headed out to mom and dad’s to see what they were up to. Mom had…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 11.
Woke to rain this morning. The north country has been getting rained on all summer, so I guess this is okay. My truck needed a bath anyway. The day started with utilitarian activities, aka laundry. It’s a necessity of travel longer than a weekend getaway. Well, at least the way I pack it is. Which…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 10.
Back on the road again. Today was another one of those Point A to Point B travel days. I left Bethesda heading north, opposite the flow of the morning rush hour, and made my way up to NY. The run through all the historic places along route 15 in Maryland and Pensylania made me want…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 9.
The fourth and last day of sightseeing in Washington DC was very good. I admit that I walked off my feet again, but it was worth it. Once again, I caught the Shuttle from the hotel to the Metro, and the Metro into the city. The Metro was not as congested as it was yesterday…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 8.
Today consisted of walking my feet off. My goal in life today was to see the old masters. They had to be somewhere in DC. Turns out they are in DC, at the National Gallery of Art. Now, the Gallery opens at 11:00am, so I figured I’d head to the Smithsonian Natural History Mussum first,…

US Road Trip 2017, Day 7.
Day 2 of Washington DC was … wait for it …. awesome! Got out of bed without the phone alarm again. Used a bottle of Mountain Dew for breakfast, and had a nice quick walk around the hotel grounds. I was picked up by Beth, my tour guide and driver (She’s gonna kill me when…
