Today, we passed out of the northwest corner of Rhode Island and into Massachusetts. One state down, eleven to go. I’m pretty excited that we cleared our first state. I know, I know. It’s te small one, and the rest are going to be quite a bit bigger and more challenging. Acknowledging all that, I’ll take he wins where we can get them.

There were and handful of other firsts today as well. We’re camping for the first time tonight, and we’re breaking the rules to do it. Stealth camping at its best, but we’ve already been caught.
It would not be camping if it wasn’t raining, and that’s a first for the trip as well.
We had our longest day walking today clocking in 19.22 miles. Although we’re not quite on pace, I’m pretty pleased with the 14 miles per day we’ve averaged over the last five days. We started off strong, and we're both settling into the daily rhythm of he road. Camping and moving was the net big hurdle to clear, and we’re giving that a shot as we speak. More to follow on that tomorrow, but I’m optimistic.
Finally, it is hard to believe that week ago today, I was hanging out with a great group of friends and celebrating the end of my Navy career. it seems like so much has happened in those seven days. The travel has helped of course, but the massive life changes have been truly astounding in the bes of all possible ways. I don’t know any other way to put it. I just feel that I’m on the right path right now, and I can't wait to see where it leads.
