The Backroad to Bliss
What I love about road trips is taking random side roads and meeting people. I could devote a post just for that but what I really wanted to share here is another road I took that led to this gem.

A few people enjoyed the waters of this gem of a spot on the Gulf of the Saint Lawrence.

Be the “coconut” you are!
Do you ever feel like “a lone coconut” but know in your heart that you are supposed to be just as you are and right where you are regardless of the actions and whereabouts of all the other coconuts!?;-)

Freestyle Living: Biking Across America in 57 Days!
What says Freestyle Living more than traveling across America by bike? Remember Aidan and Clara, recent high school graduates biking across America earlier this summer? They did it! Not that there was any doubt they would, but it’s still impressive. They biked from the Atlantic Ocean in Maine to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon. That’s 3609 miles in 57 days. They share the stats, highlights, and words of wisdom in their final blogpost at bikesoveramerica.wordpress.com. Their adventure is certainly inspiring to those of us biking fewer miles in one day than they averaged every day for two straight months! Is it time to plan your own adventure even if it is perhaps just a 3-day one?

Home on Wheels for Freestyle Living
I asked my friends Tom and Cyn if I could highlight them in a Freestyle Living post. After reading the last Freestyle Living post about the recent high school graduates biking across America, Tom said, “I don’t know if we’re as inspirational as those who are raising money for the Vermont Land Trust and biking across the states. We just want to travel and see our grandkid.” Indeed they will. They just sold their home and everything in it. They had already bought and created a home on wheels in this 22 foot van they call Frosty.

(more details and pictures of this home on wheels in a future post). It’s outfitted to suit them well as they hit the road driving across the country to spend time with their grandchild.

Later in the fall, they’ll take two or three months to travel around Asia again. They already spent a year bike touring and traveling around the world, so somehow I think we’ll hear about more adventures from them with and without their trusty stead Frosty.
