In the winter of 1990, I spent six weeks traveling in the canyons of Utah and the redwoods of California with a dog, car and oh yeah, a boyfriend. The following year, we bought a small pop up trailer that we towed with a VW Golf and traveled to Ashville NC, Charleston, Okeefanokee Swamp, Edisto Island in Georgia and landed at Mardi Gras in New Orleans just by luck. I was hooked. For the past 25 years I've been wanting to do this again, but one thing or the other made it just not feel like the "right time." So now it is. Me, dog, car. No boyfriend.

Woman on a Mission

WOMAN ON A MISSION:
Boondocker's Welcome Guest July 19th 2017 in Norwalk CT



Caroline knows about breast cancer. She's survived two episodes in the past 15 years. Her husband Gordon and her have made aromatase inhibitors, (the pills that help post menapasual women survive breast cancer) their survival passion, helping folks understand the importance of this discovery by Dr. Angela Brodie many years ago at the University of Maryland.
Caroline has single handedly raised over $2 million dollars towards breast cancer research and is on a mission to kayak over 250 miles down the eastern seaboard as her goal.

You can meet a lot of really amazing people in my driveway lately!!
