34 years of adventure!

Just one of the sunsets we have shared

Wow! 

We have been together longer than either of us were apart. 

We have lived in over 13 residences in 6 states - and yes, have packed and moved just as many times, have raised 1 son,  3 dogs and 2 cats, had 3 motorhomes and have had approximately 10 careers between us.

Truth be told - other  than having another child - I don't believe we are done with that list yet!

34 years of shared experiences.

Some exhilarating, some difficult and some life changing. But - each one shared.

I definitely don't remember each anniversary but I think I will remember this one.

It was another tiny adventure that both relaxed and exhausted us

.... proving that what we really need is sometimes just outside our door.

A beautiful fall day and the plan was to explore the Blackstone River Valley Bikeway.

 The POD is also the perfect day trip vehicle - bikes strapped to the back, a refrigerator for water and  snacks and a comfy place to change into bike gear or simply put one's feet up in - especially after the 20 mile ride.

Much of the bikeway follows the "tow way" along what was once the Blackstone Canal - a transport canal built in 1828 between Providence and Worcester.

The fully paved bike path wound its way alongside the Blackstone River. It was extremely well maintained and there were a fair amount of other riders (of all ages) as well as a few runners and rollerbladers. There are a number of places to access the path with good parking so it seems like it is really part of the community.

The path is fairly level all the way althou from the point where we started there is a large downhill to the river.... which, of course, meant an even larger uphill at the end of the ride!

We ended the day parked overlooking the lake in Lincoln Woods State Park. Sitting in the cab of our POD we shared a beer and some crackers as the sun began it's graceful bow into the tree tops. 

Another day, another year, another adventure awaits!
