1,430.4 miles (2,302.0 km) and nearly 3 months of backpacking, I finally arrived in my home state of Connecticut. Although my father tried giving me a box of raisins with worms in it a few days later when I met him, I have to say it was his only mistake in a dozen or so mail drops he created and shipped for me. Thanks Dad!NY-CT.jpg (Jun. 13, 1997)
