We departed Augusta around 8:00 AM heading South to get GA SR 16 instead of taking
I-20 to Atlanta. It was a nice ride through the countryside of Georgia going through towns I have not been through before. It was not new to Alan as he had lived in Augusta for five years and had taken this route before. The skies were clear when we departed Augusta, but shortly after getting on the road, the weather threatened rain. Finally, around Eatonton, GA it started raining and we rode a short time in the rain.

We arrived in Peachtree City around 1:00 PM completing our trip of 24 days, almost 6300 miles and traveling through 15 states (GA, NC, SC, VA, MD, PA, NJ, MA, CT, NY, VT, NH, ME, RI, DE) and three Canadian Provinces (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia).

We started each day with devotions and prayer and asking for God's guidance and protection as we traveled. Here are some examples of God's intervention and answered prayers.

- Day 2: As Alan and I was taking a Scenic Byway along the Delaware River in New

Jersey, we became lost and it took us about 3 hours to go 40 miles. Later,
when we arrived in Hadley, MA we were informed that they had

encountered severe storms earlier with high winds causing power loss and
hail.

Had we not been lost and delayed, we would have been in the middle of the
storm.

- Day 3: As Ronna and I were departing the Portland airport, a car (the car drove
around another car who was stopped, waiting for us to turn) drove in front of
us as we were making a slow speed turn, and as I hit the brakes to avoid a
collision, the bike went down.
A man jumped out of his car and up righted the bike - with Ronna and I still
on it! No one was hurt and no damage to the bike.

- Day 4: While we were in the motel at Bangor we met a man from New Brunswick.
We told him that we planned on staying at Melrose, NB the next night. He
told us that there was nothing at Melrose and that we should stay at
Shediac, NB.
The next evening we stayed in a nice two-bedroom chalet in Shediac!

- Day 6: Alan had a nail in his rear tire, and had to plug the tire before we departed.
Once we departed, a few miles down the road was a serious accident which
we could have been in if we had not been delayed by the tire!

- Day 16: While traveling from Wolfville to Walton, we made a wrong turn and were
turning around when a woman stopped and ask us where we were headed.
She told us to continue on the road we had turned on as the road we had
planned to travel was "the worst road in Nova Scotia and definitely not fit
for motorcycle travel!"

The four of us are extremely grateful for the opportunity to have made this trip and see another small portion of God's beautiful creation we call the world.
