The Next Adventure

 

"The time to prepare for your next expedition is when you have just returned from a successful trip." Robert Peary

And that's what I've done, Mr. Peary. What follows is my 2022 Summer "Expedition."

I've had a most rewarding and pleasing three months 'on the road' and look forward to what's ahead. The number one question asked of me from all I've met since returning home is, "What was your most favorite/memorable/interesting/location or incident?" I hadn't given much thought because I took the entire trip as one event with everything standing out as special; after all, I'd never visited these places before; that I did it alone is something to reflect on in wonder. I've written twenty six blogs and they've had over 2,000 views. What would be interesting would be to ask readers what they thought the most memorable/interesting location or incident was. I guess I could do that by simply asking readers to include that thought in the comments that follow. I've received so many compliments as well. This one, from neighbor, Jack, was a terrific ego booster: 

"Hi Charlie,

What a marvelous Coda to an extraordinary journey. Each travelogue is a unique experience combining photos, narratives, history and personal impressions. I often come away with each one feeling that you've attained perfection, but then you present the next one equally outstanding! The last one on Hershey was beyond outstanding ... a virtual memorable journey ... a keeper to review several times at leisure.

Thanks for the experience.

JC"

 

Thank you, Jack. So, on to this summer. The itinerary is written in stone with deposits or full payments already made. There are many blank dates I would like to fill in as the season progresses.
