So the quest is an extension of the State Border Crossings quest (#GoQuesting1006), but adds each unique state-province crossing too. With the other trips we have planned this summer, Scott may finish this quest later this year. πŸ˜‚

So yesterday we drove from VT into NY to then cross into Quebec, drive for 17 mins and then drive in VT for a new weird quest that you can blame @tthrash for.

The border agents were a bit perplexed at our plans. Let’s see what happens when we do something similar with VT-QC-ME t.co/1v0v2ztLx…

Montpelier is such a quaint little town. One block from the Capitol, it’s just a nondescript neighborhood. One block in the other direction, it’s a small town downtown. Reminds us of Juneau. –S x.com/rscottjones/st…

Rainy and grey today but we still had fun exploring some waterfalls and rivers t.co/C5PfDgs4d…

Got #LostNeededDirections in New Hampshire, marking off the state in our quest to visit a brewery in each of the 50 states. #GoQuesting t.co/PAaIN0L78…

@tthrash Yup! Burlington for both of us!

Just landed in Burlington, Vermont.

@ocparkbuilder @rscottjones @HubbardJeff Haha I do. @JJonestraveling But you can probably count the number of tweets I have done on one hand. I’m trying to be better but… 😁

Snorkeling views last weekend.

You’ve heard about my quest to visit every National Park unit, but have you heard about my quest to visit all of the World’s Largest Twine Balls? Or eat at all the windowless Chinese restaurants in downtown Phoenix?

I talked about those and more on the latest episode of the Almost There Adventure podcast.

Last night’s sunset paddle on the Lower Salt River

I miss flying to distant destinations.

Remembering this unique swimming hole…

With all of my trips canceled this year, my summer has revolved around paddling trips down the Lower Salt River. While it’s been incredibly disappointing that we haven’t been able to travel, I’ve appreciated the time I’ve had on the riverβ€”20 trips so far, averaging one paddle every six days.

I’m looking forward to another moonlight paddle tonight.

While the pandemic has canceled nearly all of our travel plans, staying home this summer has had one noticeable benefit: I get to kayak the Lower Salt River much more than normal. Yesterday marked my 16th paddle down the river since late May.
