Your grand adventure has been spectacular and I greatly appreciate all the photographs you have posted, taking us along with you. From all the posts and photographs, I have a feeling the trip exceeded your expectations which is so awesome. I am glad you and Samwise could make this wonderful journey together. I know it was supposed to be you and Atticus, but you know he is forever in your heart. I am grateful your life was spared last year. I look forward to reading more books, Blogs and posts. Thanks again for always sharing all you do. You are someone very special in this world. Don't ever forget it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040111681338038903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-30142432819419892592017-07-10T12:33:36.205-04:002017-07-10T12:33:36.205-04:00Thank you for sharing with we non-Facebook readers...Thank you for sharing with we non-Facebook readers, Tom.

Surprised and pleased to learn of a longer road trip and it's wonderful to know you're both healthy and enjoying it so much ! Looking forward to reading more about all of it and the adventures along the way. Love your books, love those dogs ! I'm dog-sitting a small 14-yr. old terrier right now and have reason to think of you often.....

Sounds as if you're having a blast--you and your beautiful sidekick. And yes, he really has filled out and become all muscle. The video of him running on that Oregon beach really showed his strength.<br /><br />I hope you are well! Any chance you'll be dipping down into Southern California? I was up in the Laguna Mountains a few days ago and thought of you two, hoping (against hope?) that by some miracle I'd run into you.<br /><br />Safe & happy travels to you!<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br /><br />MollieMolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072692058178050814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-42818912357290984762017-07-02T08:52:05.505-04:002017-07-02T08:52:05.505-04:00Your adventure sounds so wonderful and FULL!

After many trips across and around this beautiful country, I can see that you have hit the most wonderful places of the country and being born in Cooperstown and growing up only miles from there, I also know that might be a treat for you. We are hoping to move to Gorham, NH in the next year from a bit south of there. Our love of the mountains beckons us to be IN THEM. Safe travels and much more JOYFUL PEACE as you continue your marvelous adventure with Samwise, the dog with wings for ears!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-58970686807274992152017-07-02T07:47:22.353-04:002017-07-02T07:47:22.353-04:00We lost our Blue 4 days ago. he was 16 and our be...We lost our Blue 4 days ago. he was 16 and our best beloved friend, to us he was more than a dog, more than everything. I know he is much better off, resting,..he had been unable to move on his own for the last 6 months, my husband carried him everywhere and he was weakening and when he told us he was ready to leave we listened and answered,,his passing was gentle and we know the right time..we had wanted him to pass on his own but it wasn't to be....your words and writing are so calming...we have spent time walking and in nature healing..it is beautiful and bittersweet but inevitable the feeling of sadness washes in then ebbs while we try to remember with love and joy our luck in having known him, loved him and had him love us back. thank you for your words and although i have been through this before your writings help us to be more gentle with ourselves and your growing friendship with samwise reminds us there will be another never the same but another who will love and be loved, have adventures with, grow with that will fill our hearts> Blue will also always reside their forever staying until we are together again.

Wow. Six weeks. I'm not sure I could be away from home that long. <br /><br />I did spend 10 days in Yosemite. Hit it just right. The waterfalls were full with the runoff and I took some beautiful photos of the falls and Half Dome reflected in the flooded meadows. Also got shots of the rainbow in the mist of Bridalveil falls. The long drive wasn't that bad. <br /><br />But I'm not sure I could take on the extensive drive you and Samwise are doing. <br /><br />I would love to read about your adventures and see some of the photos you've taken on your trip when you are ready to share them with us. Always a pleasure to read what you have written. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-43445213127792151562017-07-01T12:40:39.336-04:002017-07-01T12:40:39.336-04:00Thank you again for a fine read.

His Father was an engineer on the dam there, his wishes to see it again. We found his house, the owners were kind enough to welcome us in. <br />We spent a few days in Cooperstown, enjoying a small town parade. Stopped at every farmstead on the way.<br />I am a West Coaster-but there is nothing like the East. So lucky to have the gift of adventure and travel.<br /><br />Cheers and onward<br />SandyFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-74236586047844639562017-07-01T11:25:49.444-04:002017-07-01T11:25:49.444-04:00I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your adven...I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your adventures on this trip.

I too hope to take a road trip across the US someday, but reading your posts and seeing your pictures gives me lots of ideas. Enjoy the rest of your trip, soaking it all in! I look forward to all of your posts all of the time, but have avidly followed this trip especially.
