Day 25 Wednesday

So after 25 days and 4383 miles, we finally returned to Sugar Hill where there are still no leaves on the trees and, despite the sun, the temperature was a brisk 52°.   I  miss the South!

We spent our final night in Pleasantville, NY, with our good friends Rosemary and Bill Carlough.  Bill and I went to Middlebury together way back in the day.  Eventhough Bill is a Yankee fan, we manage to get together a couple times every year.

Some of my final impressions include:

Some of the most beautiful cities in the US are:  Fredericksburg, Beaufort (SC), Savannah, Asheville,   Charleston, & Chattanooga.

Southerners hospitality is real.

Some my say the economy is doing really well, but there are a lot of towns and people are aren't experiencing that prosperity.

FEMA needs to do more for the communities destroyed by Hurricane Michael.

Our National Park Service does a wonderful job preserving our natural and historical treasures.

Here are some of my favorite photos from this trip:
