I'm really enjoying your tour. I met you on the White Pine along with my friend and my dog. We were honored to see our pictures included in the blog that day. Anyway, you are giving me lots of ideas for future tours.

Sorry we missed out on your Canadian sojourn to Normandale area
You clearly had a great time.. glad you had some time Pt. Dover..during my youth it housed the "Summer Gardens" a dance hall.. many summer nights were spent dancing away to the music of the day.
Take care, and continue your trip without any serious incidents.
