I finally met the fellow participants that were going to discover Scandinavia with me. There were nine of us, which is just about the most perfect size for a tour group. It made it easy for our tour guide, Paula, to keep track of us all. She was constantly counting to make sure nobody got lost. I was the only American, there were three people from New Zealand, three from the U.K. and two Canadians. They were all solo travelers, with the exception of one couple from New Zealand.
I have finally completed a task that took me twelve years to accomplish and I must admit I am rather proud of myself for completing it.
It is time to start heading home. Checking my maps, I will be traveling along the southern edge of the Great Lakes. But look!! Just a few miles north of the freeway, is the hamlet of Detroit! I've only been to a few concerts in Detroit (Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin), back in the day, perhaps it is time to actually visit the area.
All of a sudden it dawned on me that it was going to be Memorial Day weekend. In the camping world, weekends and holidays , especially during the summer is when it becomes very hard to find a camping spot.
Don't know what is going on in the Northeast Kingdom, but Glover marches to it's own drummer.
After all the excitement of the Cousin Reunion, it was time for us all to go our separate ways. I found that for remedial purposes, a little medicinal gorge hiking might be the ticket.
