I looks like we are going to play it by feel and stop the first night when we get tired. I hope we can make it to Scranton or at least Binghamton but may need to stop nearer Hartford or somewhere in western Mass. I wish we could take the time this trip to "see the sights" but we must be back in Wyoming by Sunday evening. For those who are wondering about this trip here are the details. My daughter has been doing her university honors thesis research in Cape Breton for the past 3 months. The only flight I could book on my "free miles" was on Aug 3 and we need to be back for various reasons by Aug 7. This means 4 days to travel nearly 2500+ miles. I arrive at Halifax airport about 2300 hours and we drive to Digby to catch the 0500 ferry to St.Johns, NB. which arrives at 0800. We then drive to Calais, ME., Bangor, Portland, Worcester, Mass. and as far as we can stand to drive in shifts that day. Our target stop the second day is Goshen, IN to visit with an old friend. Third day to Council Bluffs, Ia or Omaha; and then home to Laramie, Wy by Sunday afternoon. I will be carrying only one camera and two lenses to record any noteworthy sights as opportunity presents itself. Don Dory has seen this camera at PMA a couple years ago, it is a 1934 Leica Standard with 50 Elmar. The extra lens is a 25mm Canon. My film of choice for this trip is 20 out-of-date Kodak Panatomic-X rated at EI of 10. Thanks to all who have so thoughtfully contributed their thoughts and suggestions for the trip.
