The Trip!

We celebrate the life of Alfred Adair Watters, Jr., who died seven years ago yesterday.

I have two primary rules for The Saga, Continued posts. I aim for a short, easy story, and pictures to illustrate the short, easy story. This post contains neither, but I think it's worth the read.

At the end of a 30-day cross country trip in a station wagon pulling a pop-up camper, with seven, and sometimes eight people, Gramps wrote the following letter. Yes, it's three pages and yes, it's single-spaced, but read it. You'll be glad you did.




As far as I can tell, no pictures survive from The Trip!, but this may have been taken on the test run to Pisgah National Forest a week before leaving Spartanburg on the big adventure.
