well, Well, WELL!!!...today we broke the 30 mile mark!!!...30.9 miles with 58,350 steps, for my Canadian fan base that is 49.8387 km's...we went from Dunkirk to just west of Chester, tomorrow we make a serious south turn to see if we can beat winter weather...weather today was great for walking, started out a wee bit on the cool side, with a gentle breeze (to keep the bugs away), warmed up a bit in the afternoon but not oppressive...the booty for the day: 1 quarter, 1 penny AND a coin from Bruce just outside of Galata, thank you, Bruce, YOU were a gift to me today AND thank God for your dog!!!...thank you for dropping some rocks into the pond that is MY life!!!...keep doing what you are doing, DON'T mess with success!!!...the coin will take its place in the bag until such time as it will go to the right and perfect person under the right and perfect situation...tomorrow we move the motor home to Chester and pick up the walk again, we wanted to get as much walking in as possible before the "all star break" when mom goes bad to Castlegar to weed her garden and I head to the Emerald Isle with some friends...we will pick things up again on September 4th, 5th or 6th, mom I am sure will get bored and will start dreaming "time to move on up!!!"...as Spaff would say "thanks, gotta go"...cheers!!!
