As we said, Rowan and I owe thanks to many friends and acquaintances for their generosity. I neglected to mention the Steeles. Amy, Stacy and Paul gifted us a sweet bin filled with excellent travel foods–some needing no preparation, some needing simple prep, and assorted coffees! They truly know us, and are wonderful friends. Sean, too, deserves thanks for taking care of Mischief and Puck on our past journeys. We love you folks! (There–non-gender specific!)
As many have said to us, this journey: Happy Trails!
