The trip is going well, I could post last since the motel I was in did not have a good Internet connection. Tonight we are in Liverpool, NY. We have enjoyed taking the trip at a leisurely pace, I had forgotten that the highways heading East had speed limits of 55 or 65 miles an hour, not that everyone stays within those limits.
The weather has been kind, gray with cloud cover, and bursts of golden sunshine. Going East on 90, means traveling miles and miles within a tree lined canyon divided by a grassy median....arched every 10-20 miles by bridges.
I have had a few wildlife sitings, but not as many as I might have hoped for. A Peregrine Falcon eyeing it's breakfast, not in view long enough to know if it was successful. A flock of wild turkeys enjoying an early lunch on an embankment beside I-90 as we entered Ashtabula county, and a red tail hawk flew low over the highway in front of us. In contrast to these meager sitings we have seen at least one car from 44 States and Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick. We are a people on the move. At 4:25 EST we had logged 1000 miles. Tomorrow we will be in Vermont, and plan to spend some time at Weston Priory, a place I have adopted as a spiritual home since 1969.
