At the end of an almost twenty mile day, we pulled into The Village Motel in Richfield Springs, NY, dropped off our packs, grabbed our laundry for the laundromat, and went down Main Street to grab some Chinese food at Foo Chow’s. The food was pretty good, and at the end of the meal, I broke open my fortune cookie and look what popped out.

At every turn during this journey of planning and now execution it feels like the Universe is behind me all the way. In addition to the fortune that seemed to be written just for me, we had the best day to date with scenery while we walked scenic US Highway 20 from Sharon Springs to Richfield Springs, NY.
Farmscapes,
Skyscapes,
And even the US-20 tourist traps were spectacular today.
Even though we had a long day, we had a really good day. We talked about the experiences we both had purchasing our first homes. We talke about the things we knew, thought we knew, and wished we knew during that process. We talked about our reasons to buy rather than rent, and how we felt about those decisions in retrospect. We talked so much we managed to climb a fairly long hill out of one ot the endless valleys in this part of the country without it seeming like the hard work my legs knew was going on.
We’re coming up the learning curve, and our time on the trail is clearly starting to pay off. I’m tired tonight, but I’m not exhausted. We have long days coming, but I have confidence we can tackle them.
Slowly, but surely we’re taking the small steps required to reach a distant goal.
