The first 1000kms, val gj

The 1000th Km slipped under the wheels on our way into Boston, and we are now in New York, and I thought a summary was due.
FAC,s (frequently asked questions)
1. How far each day... as little as 7 kms and as much as 77 kms. Over 60 demands that I have a mid day nap, hopefully under a tree.

2. where have you come from... Montreal, Quebec province, through Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York State

3. What about the hills... well even thought we crossed the Appalachians we have not said, Oh the hills, except when it was very hot and muggy.

4 Where do you stay. 10 free camps, (gardens or by the road), 14 Warm Showers hosted, (and huge fun)10 paid camps and B and The generosity of people when we fall into their gardens and ask to camp is amazing

5 Best buy. A 40 minute bus ride, with bikes for $1 each.

6 Treats. Hereschoff boat building museum, Mystic Sea Port, Boston Institute of Modern Art, Ferry ride to Cape Cod, Niagara falls, lots of swims and more.

7 Lucky breaks, the hurricane which veered off course at the last minute, countless careful drivers and hosts going far beyond the expectation of Warm Showers.
