Starting Gate

Starting Gate
The starting point for our trip is a frozen one. We will miss the return of migrating shore birds and Spring. Nevertheless, off we go to follow the 'blue highways' as described by William Least Heat Moon in his book of the same title. He called his travel diary a 'journey into America.' I like to think that is what we are doing. As we head south, let us know if there are any particular hidden treasures we shouldn't miss. Of course, the real treasures will be the time we will enjoy with you, dear family and friends. Good-bye, icy winds and long johns! Hello, gentle breezes and short sleeves (we hope)!
