s a charm?  Been having trouble with wifi and Blogger.  Hopefully, this time it'll post.

This was probably the most unique birthday I've had--on the ND Trail, watching a solar eclipse.

I realize posts have been on the dry side  (just the facts, ma'am) and skeletal.  I had intended meatier recaps of each day but the Trail became bigger than I had ever imagined.  Even if I had retained more, had more time to pass it on to you, I don't believ...
