I left Plymouth, New Hampshire st 9:30 this morning in a minor snow storm. Except for the fishtail into the left lane, back into the right, left again and then right concluding in a 180 facing in the opposite direction, on Routes 3/25 between Holderness and Meredith, NH, my trip so far has been fairly uneventful. (The slipping and sliding was a pretty good adrenaline rush for one day.) I went west into Vermont and then south through Massachuset into Connecticut. I saw the last of the snowstorm around Hartland, VT. I will be spending the night at a rest stop just south of Orange, CT. I am tired and think I will try and make it to Newark, Delaware tomorrow and then to North Carolina.
This trip is different than the one which returned me to Plymouth for teaching this past January. Today I took major interstates because I want to find warmth quickly. Even here in CT it will be cold tonight and looks like Delaware will be colder than I would want it to be. My last trip was nice and meandering on smaller roads without the mission to find much of anything but what would present itself.
It is time for me to find new adventures. I am thankful for friends who helped along the way and will miss some deeply. New friends and old.
I may return to Plymouth for graduation as there still are students in the system whom I would like to cheer as they walk across the platform.
Stay tuned the journey continues.
