Oct 4 Day 2 Lewes Delaware

Another beautiful day here at the beach. Today I decided to rest my tired muscles and not leave for my walk until after lunch. I'll do another segment later tonight. On my lunch hour in the real world of work in Green Bay, I left the GP parking log and walked 3.49 miles. It was 70 degrees in Green Bay, with the SW wind at 5mph, and a humidity of 51%. In Lewes Delaware at the same time, its 63 degrees, wind WNW at 16mph with a humidity of 56%. WTF, its nicer at home then on my vacation, doesn't that just figure!

In my dream world, I started at the corner of Savanna Rd and Henlopen Dr. The American Discovery Trail map tells me to turn onto Savannah Rd, but when I googled the route, I think I found a better way so, I'm veering off the map for about 3 or 4 miles. (so shoot me, I get to stay along the ocean for a little while longer, what's not to like about that!) I continued along Cape Henlopen Dr to E Savanna Rd and took a left. I walked a mile or so and crossed over the Lewes and Reboboth Canal. Admired all the beautiful boats docked in the harbor here as I crossed the bridge. I took a right onto Pilottown Road and continued to New Rd. I walked a ways down New road past a park and a couple of baseball diamonds. Called the boys on the cell phone and went back to the camper for my nap.

Last Stroll on the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Henlopen Park

After my real life work, I walked another 3.15 miles. Continuing down New road for a few more miles until I reached Nassau Rd. I turned right for another 1/4 mile to Highway U.S 1, continuing on another 1/4 mile to Minos Conaway Rd (Rt 265), where I hung a left. I went 1.49 miles to Lewes-Georgetown Rd (UW.9/DE 404). Time for the pickup boys to arrive and swoop me up for dinner. So far I have traveled 9.5 miles on my trip. We'll head back to the beach tonight, but time to look for a new campsite tomorrow. Time to stroll the beach and remember the beautiful Atlantic ocean before drifting off to sleep to the crash of the surf.

Today’s book is ‘ “E” is for Evidence’ by Sue Grafton. Description: When incriminating evidence planted by an unknown party indicates that private eye Kinsey Millhone is on the take, she desperately tries to exonerate herself. Ann’s comments: This is pretty light reading. I have read many of these Sue Grafton books, but not in alphabetical order. This one must be pretty old, since some of the incriminating evidence comes from a typewriter, and she is always searching for pay phones to make calls.
