Day 55 Manchester NH to Portsmouth NH
How sweet it is! A cool dip in the Atlantic Ocean completes the trip
We first reach the Atlantic at Hampton Beach south of Portsmouth
We ride 10 miles north on 1A with views of the Atlantic and east coast beach towns where we see the RV pulled off to the side with family and friends cheering us on. With no traffic, we spread out across the 2 lanes and all arrive together in one line.
Dave is all smiles as we complete this journey. He is most happy being reunited with his wife Dale behind him.
Share a champagne toast and shower
Ed has a reunion with his Daughter Julie, and her son Matthew and Daughter Sarah
No DQ here, but this ice cream truck pulls in like on queue, for a last ice cream treat
Jim, with Rex Burbage and wife Kathryn. Rex is Ray Burbage's brother, friend of Jim, who was killed in Vietnam February 1968. Jim dedicated this ride to Ray, and Rex and his wife greeted Jim at the finish.
