Happy 40th Birthday, Matt!

14 miles today brought me from Amelia Court House to Genito, where I met my older brother!

(Blog in progress– more photos and narratives to come…)

14 miles into the day, Matthew Throop, my older brother, met me on the road; today is his 40th birthday. He's spending the night with me at the home of hosts Dan & Callie.  (I'm still about 30 miles shy of his home in Richmond.)
