This afternoon I met one of my kindred spirits, Michelle, at Atwaters at Belvedere Square. Michelle walked from her house in Hamilton and me from mine in Oakenshawe, and we had lunch in the middle with her daughter, Althea.
Walking is one of my favorite passtimes, and I want to pay homage to more of my fellow walker kindred spirits: Emily F., Emily G., Michelle D., Michel P., Todd & Kathleen.

About Me
- incognito explorer
- I started incognito explorer in May 2009 when my husband and I embarked on a cross country road trip from Baltimore, MD to Lexington, KY, and Columbia and Kansas City, MO to Denver, CO to the Bay Area, CA to Estes Park, CO, Grand Teton/Yellowstone, through Idaho, to Oregon, to Seattle, WA to Whistler, BC to Glacier NP, MT to Theodore Roosevelt National Park ending in Chicago, IL. We lived in Chicago until 2013. Then embarked on a road trip to the Canadian Rockies before moving back to the DC area. Incognito explorer continues to chronicle our adventures.
