Departure

Today I begin my trip across my country.  After various delays, I now feel prepared to embark.  First route: heading north from Atlanta through Georgia and into North Carolina to pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway at Cherokee, NC.  I plan to arrive in Washington, D.C., by Friday, or Saturday at the latest.

The road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then?  I cannot say.
