10/29 Visting Maryland State Capital

Today was the first game of the season for the UWGB girls basketball team. I decided to walk from my home to the Kress Center at UWGB. The game was at 2:00 so, I left the house at 10:00am, planning for about a 3 mile per hour pace.  It was 9.26 miles from my house to the game and I got there about 1:15. Not bad! We beat Michigan Tech 59 to 39. Good start girls! This was the longest walk that I have done in one session. I would like to walk the Cellcom 1/2 marathon next spring. Today I felt like I could have kept going, so I think that shouldn't be a problem as long as I keep doing my walk across America.

In Maryland, I am walking through the city of Annapolis. I crossed over the Severn River Bridge, where I could look down at the Navel Academy. They even did a flyover for my entertainment.

I had all these cadet cuties marching in cadence beside me today. Love a man in uniform (sigh).

I took a swing by the state capital building and coincidentally my walk just happened to end at the Annapolis Mall (how convienent). I will be picking up the WB&A Rail Trail tomorrow. I will be glad to get out of the city and back onto some scenic trails. I prefer the sound of birds and the smell of fresh mown hay to the sound of horns and the smell of car exhaust.

Tonight we are back at our campsite at the bay. While I was out walking our fancy cooking campsite neighbors pulled out and left us. (hope it wasn't something I said). Good thing I visited the food court in the mall before I came back to the camper. Might be having s'mores for supper tonight. I think we'll go gourmet and use Reese's peanut butter cups instead of Hershey bars. Yum!
