The shower is complete. Tomorrow I’ll add some water, cross my fingers and see. Please cross your fingers too!!!

We are nearly ready for liftoff honestly. Can you believe that, save for maybe two excursions, we’ve been calling New Paltz home for 2 3/4 weeks? Our longest stay since the tour began.

The foliage maps say a bit north and west are GTFO near peak, making it easier to go further into the Catskills en route to West Virginia, where we plan on making a squiggly line to Colorado Springs and that marvelous French bakery.
