Year -- Two Ends

Each year has two ends. We reached the one end of 2009 and were instantly at the other end of 2010. Both of those happened while we were driving somewhere between Sioux Lookout, Ontario and Mohnton, Pennsylvania. Actually it was a lot closer to Mohnton than Sioux Lookout.

Here are a few pictures from our trip. We had a safe and a great time. There was a lot of time for relaxing, and we both discovered how much we needed that. It was great to go to bed and not set an alarm, but get up when we were ready--not that that was very late. It was good to spend time with friends and family. It was also good to see the beauty of the north. We were blessed with the sight of two moose walking out of the bush in front of our car (but not so close we had to brake for them). The worst part was the driving conditions on the first day. We stopped at a motel 150 miles before getting to our planned destination. Everything else on the trip went very well.
