Missing the Scenic Byways Bus | Letter

Standing on the side of the road with my thumb out (trying to get from Eastsound to Deer Harbor with my groceries), I couldn’t help but wax nostalgic for the summer season of travelling easily here or there on the Scenic Byways Bus.

It was great to be able to make plans according to a regular schedule, but mostly I remember how many interesting people I met while tooling around on Orcas and San Juan. It was fun to find common threads to talk about with visitors, often meeting folks from the Midwest (as I was). I love that small world kind of happenstance!
