Today was agreeably our best day yet. Everyone rose to the challenge of our toughest day physically, biking 40 miles with no complaints. We stopped for sandwiches at a nice swimming hole, which was red from all of the minerals. We all had a good laugh about how our legs looked bloody. We made it […]
Today the Teen Trekkers crossed into their third time zone of the trip! Today was a mighty hot one, but they didn’t let the temperature get them down. They stopped in Murdo, SD for a lunch break during the hottest part of the day, where they got ice cream before finishing the day with a […]
After our first night sleeping in tents, we were up and ready to go earlier than usual. Our first stop was a bike shop in Monterey, which was on the way, thankfully. The steep hills made it necessary for us to have an early lunch. Realizing the closest grocery store was 27 miles away from […]
This morning, the Teen Treks gang was awoken by a barbaric yawt from Dan the Man. Afterwards, we hastily packed up and scarfed down our granola and Greek yogurt breakfast.

We bought lunch at “Grocery Outlet,” a store that excited everyone with its unbelievably low prices. PB&Js were consumed […]
Today we woke up to a chorus of birds in Hammonasset State Park. We groggily adjusted to waking up with the sun from our urban sleep schedules as first light hit the marshland, similar to how it hit the bay as we swam at sunset the night before. We biked 12 miles to Old Saybrook […]

Montreal at last! Yesterday, we visited the Museum of Fine Arts, which was a great activity while it drizzled outside.
