I just left a pretty lady after talking her ears off. MaybeBaby lives high in the sky with a very nice view. Again I had a very good time visiting with her. She made me feel welcome as have everyone I have met with. It is interesting hearing each's stories and sharing experiences.

Onward I go.

Hugs,
    Laurie

Do not mourn for Clyde, as he is now in a better place.  Well, places...

Glad you met your nemesis Laurie. Seriously girl you're gonna be for it when the anaesthetic wears off ;D

Have fun for the rest of the trip, stay safe and watch out for that Georgette, rumour has it she's gonna be dragging you out to a night club so she can film your dance moves and post them on youtube.  :icon_dance: :icon_dance: :icon_dance:

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

Unfortunately Sadie, due to some miscommunication,  scheduling problems, and timing issues Georgette and I were not able to meet up. As I was heading out of town We did have a bit of conversation via phone. So it wasn't s total miss. Pethaps sometime in the future I will once again overcome my aversions towards big cities and masses of humanity to try again to meet in person.  For this trip I had passed my maximum exposure level and had to escape.
   Headig out of town I entertained backtracking to try to visit "That Woman" again along with one more visit with my number one fan p aka Patty. But alas doing so would again require another excursion into areas of too many cars, people, and too tight quarters for both my trusty steed and me. Sorry miss Manico (or whatever) and Patty I opted for the road west, my niece's place(as promised)  and a hot shower.
  I arrived about dark, slept well on her comfortable couch and will stay again tonight. Tomorrow I'll head west again and need to decide if I am going to the Michigan U.P. to say hi to my rarely seen cousin. She does not yet know I am transitioning do that could be interesting.

  Another update when I have something to relate.

Hugs,
    Laurie

Hi folks,

Here are pictures of those I met that gave me permission to post pictures of them and myself. But first proof that I made it to in Maine in girl mode.



Here is p (Patty) and I



Devlin already posted a picture of us.

Here is Amber (Amberwaves)



Randy I goofed and didn't get a picture. ( I may drop in on the way home to fix that)

And I think I posted this one of Jane Emily already but she deserves another one.



There ya go ladies. Thank you all for allowing me to be a small part of your stories, for being a part of mine, and being my friends. You all made this road trip more fun and worthwhile.

Love you all.

  Hugs,
    Laurie

COOL!!!  Laurie and friends, thank you for posting photos.  An epic road trip like no other. 

I hear Maine copied Oregon and named a city after Portland.   :P

Hi Laurie, have you chosen your return route yet. We live in northern Colorado about sixty miles south of I80. Let us know if you will be taking I80 home and we could meet up with you in Cheyenne or Laramie. - Anne

  Hi Anne,

   I would love to try and make that happen.  At this point in time I am thinking of returning home by that general route. I say general because I can tend to wander and explore non big interstate highways. I've even been known to roam on dirt roads between destinations. I could likely come to you.  I warn you it probably won't happen within the next week.
   
   I started this trip to Maine to complete my goal of having been in every state and have done that. But the highlight of the trip has been visiting all of the wonderful ladies I've been able to meet with.  Had I not had all of you to meet with I probably would have done this trip in girl mode. All my travel time and visits have been en femme and it has been helping me a lot.  Thank you all.

  I checked and find it hard to believe I have been on the road for 4 weeks come tomorrow. And what a month!

  Hugs,
    Laurie
