Worth the Drive: Two "Bay Sunrise" cocktails at Up the Creek Raw Bar in Apalachicola
Welcome to our spring 2022 travel blog. We haven't been camping since October, so we're very excited about getting back on the road. As you can see from the maps below we will be revisiting some of our favorite spots, but also exploring some new ones too. Based on lots of feedback, I'm returning to my old post format where the text and the photos are from the same day.

Day 30

After a rainy night we woke up to dry Sunday morning with sunny skies.  

As these mileage signs indicate, Pine Grove Furnace State Park is the mid-point of the Appalachian Trail.

Campsite #31

Appalachian Trail Museum.  It's always closed when we're there, but one year we will visit it.

Our first stop was back in Gettysburg, at the Gettysburg Baking Company where we picked up coffee, pastries, and sandwiches for lunch.

This ended up being our last day on the road.  Our original plan was to spend the night in Glastonbury so that we could visit Nick, Chetty, Jack, & Billy,  but everyone was sick to some degree, so after stopping for a very quick 90 minute visit we continued on to East Sandwich.

Our final meal of this trip, scallop rolls and fries at Seafood Sam's in Sandwich.

So this is my final blog update.  We arrived at home at 8:45 PM.   Today we drove 570 miles, the most miles we covered on any single day, and over the past 30 days have driven 5,549 miles!  

What a wonderful trip it was...but, it's great to be home too.

Spring was just starting to arrive in Sandwich when we departed.  The grass was green, the daffodils had bloomed, but there were no leaves on the trees. Today it looks like summer, but it's still spring and we'll get to enjoy all the flowering joys for a second time.

Our route for Day 30
