Miles today: 740.
Miles to date: 14,604.
Well, there it is. 60 days on the road and almost 15,000 miles. 23 states and 6 provinces. I crossed the Great Divide 4 times, the Mississippi River twice, and the Canada/US border 4 times. I went up, over, around, along and under mountains, hills, passes, gulches, canyons, deserts, rivers, lakes, creeks, streams, and oceans. My car was searched just once by authorities and I wasn't charged with any moving violations. I'm not saying I didn't commit any, I'm just saying "The Man" didn't catch me.
My last day on the road was an epic 740 mile run back to the GTA from Northern New Brunswick. It was the single longest day in both mileage and time terms, and it felt like it. The need to return to the GTA for 3 days of running around prior to my Kenyan departure necessitated the long run.
My good friend, LR will be happy to learn that I didn't even come close to the mileage allowance on my lease (but I've still got 3 days before I get on a plane - anybody want to drive to Northern Manitoba????).
And while the road trip is over, the adventure has just begun. I'll continue posting while in Kenya, but perhaps not with the frequency you've come to expect with this finest of web publications. So check back often and anticipate stories of a man in a white linen suit as he makes his way across the dark continent.
I shall return...
Maybe.
