DAY 40: NO NEW DAYS...

Today the trip is officially over, but the blog won't end quite yet. After all, I haven't met all my commitments nor gotten up all the photos yet, right? So the rest of the posts will backtrack through some of the missing stories, people, and photos. Hope you'll all stay tuned a little longer.

So, here's the final report. We (the research team: Sally, Ashley, and Linda) logged 1,381 photos of pages in Yale's archive of Paul Sears papers. A drop in the bucket, I suspect, as we made it through approximately 35 of the 154 boxes. Can you believe? And that, I'm sure, will be enough to keep me busy most of the winter.

Others have asked for a mileage report. Upon arrival home (the car has been surprisingly sedentary since Friday night), the car had logged a final tally of 6,379.3 miles. I figure Ashley left me after about 2,700 of them...

More later-- Ashley came over to pick up a couple things and we're going to dash off. Turns out I got home just in time for the last day of Lila's famous must-see Barn Sale!
