Kosmos Travel Log

Wednesday, May 11 — Day 19: Keystone, South Dakota to Buffalo, Wyoming (continuing on the Passage Across America)

Even though it was still snowing, we went back to Mt. Rushmore in hopes that visibility may be better. This first picture is at the entrance to the park.

Christi will be doing a book signing at West Marine in Point Loma (1250 Rosecrans St, San Diego, CA 92106) from 10:00 – 3:00 this Saturday, May 29th. We were originally also going to do a presentation on the around the world journey, but the presentation has been rescheduled for June 26th at 1:00 pm. We hope to meet some of our blog readers either this Saturday or on June 26th.

We had hoped to keep up real-time postings for the road trip, but it didn’t work out. We’ll post the rest of the highlights soon and do full write ups in the relatively near future. Meanwhile, we wanted to remind everyone that we are speaking at Trawlerfest in Anacortes, WA this weekend. On Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 about our circumnavigation aboard Kosmos. On Saturday we will be doing a joint presentation with Denis and Mary Unstot on adjusting to living aboard. We hope that we will get to meet many blog readers in Anacortes!
