Attacked by a bear!

Apologies if you can’t load the video BTW. This is my first attempt in uploading a video recording directly from my cell phone. If it works I’ll definitely be doing more of them in the future. :-D

Lessons learned from taking an impromptu vacation

When I left last Tuesday, I only had a rough idea of where I’d be going. I knew I wanted to take a drive through Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, but other than that I was playing it by ear. I started out in Connecticut on Route 7, and boy I couldn’t leave that state fast…
