HI Barbara: Thank you. I am so glad you liked Northern Byways. I will be talking about it/reading from it at the Senior Center this Wednesday at 1:30. If I don’t see you there, have a great trip! I am envious. I was hoping to go to Labrador this year, but the Carpenter says we have to work on the house and we do… Hope all goes well but not so well it’s not an adventure! Keep on travelin’, never mind age.

Since we are planning a XC trip next month from Northampton across the northern edge of the states, up to Vancouver and then east through Canada, I found your book fascinating. I love the way you roam around (literally and figuratively), dropping interesting information of all sorts. You are a great writer too which doesn’t hurt. We won’t be traveling on this trip as far north as you went in Canada but no matter…… last year we drove the southern route through the states to San Diego, up to San Carlos, a side trip to Yosemite and then back east, visiting old, dear friends we might not ever see again on what we lovingly called “the farewell tour”. We are headed towards 80 and it’s now or never…….small towns, back roads, avoidance of big cities – all the ways we love to travel. Most of our friends think we are crazy to spend so much time at our age on the road but it is when we are at our best.! Thanks to my husband for finding you. And, thanks to you for a great read…..I’ll be reading more……
