also andy
about coasting & circumnavigating states etc
& since the world class binge is quiet for a moment
i would like to add that i have fully pervambulated my former home state of
connecticut
all on public roads since private property prevents actually traveling along
the literal outline of the state in this case
as in most cases i would think

& it was particularly enjoyable to peer into every last nook & cranny along
the opulent shoreline of long island sound
where believe it or not most beaches are still privately held
& it was also very cool to snake past every roadstone along the bucolic
interior reaches of the ctny line & then the ctma line & finally the highly
complicated & enigmatic ctri line

in the process all 3 of connecticuts tristate points & all 4 of its cardinal
extremities were also tried mostly quite successfully

the complete er perigrinnation of conn was a very satisfying experience
lasting over several years


a rhode island try soon followed
but is incomplete beyond point judith


i think all the small coastal states are ideally well suited for this sport


here in oregon an official beachwalking trail runs the entire length of the
coast from wash to calif


at one time or another i have travelled all of the american coast from
labrador to argentina & from alaska to chile
but without beachcombing or sandcastling very seriously til now
day 116 of what i thought was just a great western swing
but which may actually have stalled forever at cape perpetua

m


& fortunately
now when i want to know what day of this journey today is
i can just add 112 to the current gcebe day
