To Abbi...

Hey Abbi,
glad to hear that you have been following along so closely.  I've now gone through Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusettes, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, by tomorrow I will also be through West Virginia. 
I've seen:
 3 bear (all in New Jersey)
1 Timber Rattlesnake
1 Copperhead Snake
2 Moose
87 White taled deer
242 Grey Squirels
3 Ticks (all big ones)
4 Woodchucks

It's been a great journey and I look forward to coming to visit and show you some pictures.
