Hail and Farewell

Trap Pond State Park, Delaware – Fall 2006

Hail and Farewell, dear TrailBlazer: you were our adventure vehicle for 8 years – 2005-2013. You brought us home from Florida, carried the canoe and kayak, pulled the boat full of gear, took us camping at Trap Pond and to the beach at Rehoboth, went to track meets and band concerts, survived the crash backwards into the garage stone facade and the rear ending of a Honda Wagon and the crushing of a post at Fountainhead Park, took the kids and their stuff to JMU and VCU and moved them into their first apartments – all without complaint.  You were my able assistant at Ft. Hunt Day Camp and carried Girl Scouts on field trips and camping trips alike. I loved every minute driving you and now at 99450 miles I must let you go. But I will always remember you.
