By the time I ran out of gas on the side of the highway in the Ontario mountains...according to google maps there was no gas for 40 miles...

Traveling solo on a journey like this is both exhilarating and daunting.

I thought my body was stronger than it was, literally. I went to stand on the bench...& failing, flailing, to the sodden concrete ground...

Almost 50 years exactly, I left my cozy home & set out in my dad's hitchhiking footsteps from Seattle to Nova Scotia. In December.
