We depart Huletts Landing and ride East. We enter Vermont in about an hour and encounter some of the worse drivers we have seen. Straddling lanes, tossing cigarettes out the window and one woman crosses 2 lanes and nearly rams us. The only time on the trip we were passed repeatedly by cars, and we were travelling at 10 or more miles over the speed limit. The traffic on route 4 was dreadful. Once we crossed into New Hampshire we took some nice back roads, the roads were nice and scenic, but the road surfaces were the worst we had seen. We stop in Plymouth to visit our friends Steve and Michelle, grab a sandwich for the final 2 hours. The sky again is threatening, but we make it to Denmark at 4:30 and ahead of any rain. 6,077 miles in the 28 days since we left Rancho Santa Fe, 7,297 miles since we left Loreto.
The house is in one piece, but projects loom everywhere, for now we shower, sit and relax with a glass of wine. Tonight for the first time in 28 days we won't be scanning maps and tomorrow we won't be packing the bike and heading off exploring the unknown. Bittersweet.... But life is, indeed pretty good. and I'm starting to think about the next adventure
