11 September: Back home after a little over five months away, we have many fond memories of this year’s trip—visiting friends and family; exploring Peru with Abby; camping with Lowry & Kyle and our 9-month-old granddaughter Corwyn; cruising in the San Juan Islands with Gordon; hiking in the majestic Canadian Rockies with OFOC buddies Rob, Judith, Dick, and Sonia; … and the list goes on. We met many great people in our travels, and nearly everywhere we went we learned about places we hadn’t known about that would be interesting to see on future trips. Our camper maps on Vagabond now display stickers for all 10 Canadian provinces and 37 of the lower 48 states, but we certainly don’t feel that we are finished traveling to them. There are plenty more sights, hikes, and bike rides in them tempting us to return.
