Peter and Faith,
I haven't been online for a few days, so I've missed a lot of what you are doing. It looks like I have a lot to catch up on.
I'm in Rye, NH at Mom and Dad's house waiting for the PMC this Saturday. Today, my son Brian and I went to York, ME to visit the lighthouse-by car :( .
the whole way I was wondernign if you all had passed by on the same roads a few days before. It would have been cool to have been here those few days ago and ride with you. Funny how we keep missing each other on the road like this.
Congratulations on finishing your trip!!! Now, I have a little trip of my own to make.
Later,
Scott
