we go together

a journey of many decades completed in 2025... 

feel free to walk along (using the drop-down menu on the above map to locate the places mentioned in the stories to follow)... as we recall the footprints that have long since been swept away - but these memories remain

MY JOURNEY BETWEEN LIGHTHOUSES

has been anything but linear... 

At some point in all of this walking I decided that i was going to finish it. I resolved that I was going to connect these dots and fill every beach between Seal Point Lighthouse (Cape St. Francis) and Cape Hermes Lighthouse (Port St. Johns) with my footprints. I had many many promises to myself, some kept, some broken, and as I reflected upon the many footprints I was making on the sands of time, I knew that I could keep this promise to myself.

I also decided that I was going to try to capture it as best as I could. So with my entry-level phone I began to snap pictures, and to write about my trips. Some trips were certainly more dramatic than others, but even the simple day walks had lessons to teach me, and I was ready to learn, and ready to try to write this down, and to share it - just in case a fellow traveler might stumble upon my footprints and we might walk together a while...
