Susannah & I are taking a road trip to a campsite or festival in Georgia. We drive a short ways down to the New Jersey coastline and get on a small raft. As we float out to sea, we let the tide take us down the coast. Susannah says she doesn’t like the idea of not being able to control the raft. I tell her it’s the only way because we don’t have enough fuel to get all the way down there.
As we travel, we float past some small islands dotted with electronic equipment. One of them controls the lights and functions of the Statue of Liberty. We’re both very fascinated.
We begin discussing what to do once we get into Georgia since we won’t have a car. Susannah suggests going back and driving down to Georgia in the car while I continue in the boat. I tell her it defeats the purpose of a road trip if we spend the bulk of it apart.
We get out our AAA roadmap and try to see what route to take. We decide we just need to stick close to the coastline so we don’t get swept out to sea. We turn to some of the pages of specific states to see where exactly we are.
Lucy is now with us helping determine our mileage. I notice lots of inlets of rivers that could take us into Georgia and suggest that we avoid the coastal route. Lucy tells us that we can’t do that for some reason. She’s measuring some of the routes with a ruler.
