I’m overwhelmed! Not only did Piet have me listed as an official visitor on the IAS website, he had my name posted on an office door and gave me keys to the room as well! Phil and I appreciated the use of the computer and WiFi there yesterday, and will take advantage of it again [...]
We have 123 miles to go to The Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. My friend from Second Life, Piet Hut (Pema Pera in Second Life) is a professor there. He arranged for us to park right on the campus, so we are going to drycamp there for the remainder of this week. [...]
We’re at a rest area just barely in Pennsylvania, with about an hour left to go before stopping for 4 or 5 days on New Stanton. The weather is perfect, and the drive is beautiful. It can’t get much better than this! I was hoping to be able to add a photo to this entry, [...]

NOW I see a save button, but the app must not have loaded properly before. Anyway, we are now on our way, actually passing through Des Moines, Iowa [...]
Not too surprisingly, we will not be leaving St. Joe till tomorrow. We could have gotten out of here today, but John next door needed Phil’s help to get the last bit of paperwork done to register the car we sold him. It eavened out, though, because he then helped Phil carry the big wooden [...]
It’s getting close. We have a bunch of the stuff we’ll be taking with us in the RV moved over there now, a bunch of tote bags full in the hallway to carry over in the morning, and a pretty good idea of the last remaining chores to do before we leave town for the [...]
