Sorry for long delay between posts. It has been quite a year. Here is a summary: I spent my second winter in Tucson from September 2019 - March 2020. I did take some pictures and go on hikes but it was mostly a repeat of the previous winter.
Then, in late March 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I left Tucson to head back east for good. I landed in Harpers Ferry, WV for a couple of months in a furnished house rental while I decided my next move. I started looking at condominiums in Reston, VA in mid April and ended up deciding to buy a 2 BR 1 BA condo near where I used to have my townhouse in Reston (and where I was renting when I retired and started on my US travels). I closed on the condo in late May and am now spending the summer hunkering down in Reston. My days are filled with wonderful walks (almost every day), unpacking and going through my lifetime accumulation of junk, and playing golf about once per week. Here are some pictures from my walks on the many paved (and shaded) Reston walkways.
Here are some pictures from my balcony (2nd floor of 4):

And I waited for thus guy to slither away before going on:
I plan to continue traveling from my Reston home base, starting this winter, as I plan to spend at least 1 month in Hilton Head, SC. I also plan to continue my quest to play golf in all 50 states starting next year. I have 34 states on my list so far, and am still missing many in the northeast US, as well as some in the middle of the country. I will keep updating as I progress on my journey.
