...and so it begins

First post: trying to figure out exactly how this thing works.  Hopefully I can figure it out on my phone from the road.  Chris and I are about to leave Scranton, PA.  Had an interesting two nights, pigged out on Thai food and somehow ended up in a hot tub.  So happy I got to see mostly everyone.  It was a bit stressful trying to fit everyone in with so little time.  Didn't get to see a few people that I wish I had seen.  Anyway...

Heading to Rochester, NY for the night.  Tomorrow apparently meeting up with Karen (an older and very interesting lady we had randomly met in southern Florida).  We were invited to camp out in her backyard, however we are not allowed in the house...this is already an interesting start to the trip.  Chicago on Tuesday! I will keep posting along the way, as long as I can figure this out from my phone.  I'm not very "tech savy."

Side note: in the car with us is "The Box" a somewhat sketchy vintage wooden box holding some items...

...it's not what you think it is
