Beach!

NY to Gloucester, MA via the Mohawk trail hwy 2 east.

257 miles covered in 5.5 hours.  That is the price I am willing to pay for the scenic route.  I made it to the Atlantic Ocean without a single toll fee.  Enjoyed every mile of the scenic Mohawk trail.  Black beauty reached 100, 000 miles today in route to Gloucester.   She is a fine vehicle.

Now I relax contently with my Costa Rican friend Eduardo at his rustic beach house in Gloucester a fishing town made famous in my mom's favorite movie The Perfect Storm.

Tawny is a beach girl, only I forgot my camera to prove so. In lieu I will post a photo of a female blue bird perched upon my bike as well as a photo of my new friend Helen who still mows her 27 acres in her eighth decade of life.

Gloucester is a cool town. I hope to spend a few days here with Eduardo before reporting to camp on Tuesday.

P.S.  The seafood dinner was fabulous!
