And we're done!

Finally, the end of the trail

That's a wrap, folks! After 187 days and roughly 4,830 miles, we arrived at the Western Terminus at 5:38pm on November 3rd. My parents made the complicated trip down from Winnipeg to pick us up, and now we’re sitting in a Grand Forks, ND hotel room waiting for our Covid test results so we can drive back to Canada. The real world still feels overwhelming - too much internet, too much to do, and a lot of logistics to manage for getting back home. I've fallen behind on posting my daily diaries, though I'm not too far behind on writing them, so the remaining installments will be scheduled over the next few days. I'll have some more substantive thoughts for you after that, when we've had a chance to rest and get settled. What an adventure, and what a challenge. I'm tired, and I'm proud of us, and I'm going to take a nap.

Talk to you soon!
