Day 28 - October 29 - Bethesda, MD to Cherry Hill, NJ - 143 miles

It seems that this whole adventure is about to end. I'm now in Cherry Hill, NJ. Candidly, the crosswinds I encountered on the road today made this day one of the most difficult of the trip. The semi-trailers on I-95 were so troubled by the winds, that most were in the Northbound right-hand travel lane, being blown occasionally into the breakdown lane. Recalling the drama of winds on the Delaware Memorial Bridge from Day 2, I avoided that route, went through Philadelphia, across the Betsy Ross Bridge, and into New Jersey.

Soon I was with our daughter Meredith, her partner Meghan, and grandson Noah. We're to have a  big birthday party on Saturday the 30th where Noah (age 3 on 10/28), and I (age 66 on 10/24) will be honored.  Of course, Noah is costume-fixated these days. Here's a shot of him with some interesting makeup on:

A couple of days here in Cherry Hill, and then on Monday, 11/1, the last leg of the trip...about 330 miles back to Brookline.

  1. Happy Trick or Treat, John! You can just walk around at night in your gear and you'll look great!

    See you soon and a safe trip back to Brookline!
