A long-ago mapped cross-country ride, finally launching next week. First stop: Constableville, of course!
But first, need to get the bike off of the Island. A dawn ferry ride from Nantucket to Hyannis the a slab-run down to NYC, the stepping off point for the trip.
Aboard the ferry and loaded up like the Clampett’s Model T. Lessons in over-packing never seem to stick. Pal Marjorie White, a most-accomplished long-distance tourer, says: bring along a stuff sack. After a few days when I figure out the things not needed, pack them up, and mail them home. Very wise girl.
Shucks, I wish I was going to be in Old Saybrook on June 13-14 to hear this legend play. Big Al Anderson, the guitar backbone of NRBQ, a favorite band of our youth.
