Welcome to the Howell Blog
While tracing my roots, I was given this letter by my 6th cousin, Janel. It inspired me to recreate the adventure a distant relative took over 200 years ago. I don’t have a horse but I do ride my bicycles a lot, so I decided to use a more modern “horse” on this journey.
On this page are the letter and a map I created showing the route I’m hoping to take. If all goes well, I’ll be riding 1400 miles in 29 days.
Check out the blog. Visit often and send me comments if you have questions or want to share your thoughts.
Hey — If you maximize the map, it will open a separate tab and you can see more details.
If you subscribe – I will send an email to you when a new post has been published. No one but me will see who has subscribed.
I haven’t figured out how to change the layout yet, so don’t forget to look at the footer below for the blog posts…
