By late afternoon I had dropped the rental car in Plattsburgh, and Selden drove me home to our farm. Almost a 5000 mile road trip! To say that my back aches and my joints creak is an understatement.
After dragging my gear indoors, I went for a short run with my dog Stash. I was only away for two weeks, but the green-ness of the pastures and woods was eye-opening, and the sounds of birds and small animal life a veritable cacophony. The seasonal transformation was amazing.
