Four Thousand Five Hundred Miles

Day 16                
Home at last

Time to go home. Having the trip come to an end is always bittersweet for me. I am relieved to put away my riding boots and sleep in my own bed, but I miss the daily discoveries, the little mysteries of the road, and being with George. This year was particularly hard because we traveled with Dee and John and had to say goodbye to them too. There is a culture that develops on the road.

We left Carol and Wally at 6:00 am and began the long, hot, difficult journey home. We stopped in Weed to eat at the High and Low Cafe. If you get a chance to stop in Weed, eat there. Very nice people. Lots of merchandise about Weed. (Pot)

There is not much to write about today. Somehow we made it home. George said parts of him were melting. I could not even comment.

So, home again. Great to see Jack, Lilly, and Luke! My sister, Karen, made us many wonderful meals and dessert as a surprise! She also cleaned drawers and did laundry.  Really!!!  House cleaners are coming tomorrow. Life is good.
