Road trip!

New Island's southern coast west of Victoria Harbor, near Drum Cape
 We left town the next morning, and headed west on Route 2, along the coast.  Maggie (as she likes to be called) drove the Reva. "This thing darts around like a butterfly", she said, "compared to that Zil, which I believe is without power steering, and drives like a tank!"

I had the map, and here is where we are now:



As we approached Newport, I noticed the road didn't go much further, but Maggie seemed to know where she was going. She drove through Newport, a pretty town hugging the side of some large sand dunes, and then through smaller Ocean Grove to tiny Lida, a tribe-settlement of orchardists. Thr road ended in the tribe commons, and Maggie said "Let's get some groceries at this little store and we'll walk up the river for a picnic."

  1. The first photo is the image of idyllic life! Somehow it reminds me of the Alaskan cruises I went on with friends. Thank you for sharing your art.
