Day 31: No longer homeless

Home, or something like it.

Day 31: Finished

Done.

Day 31: Final Day

I camped out last night just past New London, putting me just over 100 miles out from Boston. This morning I am going to head to Providence, RI, where I am planning to stop for a brief lunch before I push on to HKS; hopefully arriving there by 4pm or so.

I am looking forward to being done with this trip and start preparing for the school year. I have developed a massive "To Do" list of things I have put off while on this bike trip and things I need to do be ready for school. First up: I have my household goods (Army term) being delivered tomorrow and it is finally time for a hair (and beard) cut.
