Hey Fleetwood sorry to hear about your wife, hope her recovery goes well. A little more about the trip: Starting the trip on a Sunday helped to avoid a lot of traffic leaving Windsor. I rode much of the time on rural country roads through farmland and small towns. Corn, tobacco, asparagus fields, and peach orchards made for pleasant days of riding. Traffic and truck drivers were courteous. I enjoyed trading stories with the locals when stopping for meals and breaks along the way. I seemed to miss the early morning rains; they were always in front of me. The heaviest traffic was as I approached Niagara Fall on Wednesday about 3:30pm. This was a real nice 5 day tour topped off with an interesting stay at the Hostel International where I talked with mostly European and Asian travelers during the blackout. Ironically the lights did not go out where we were.
