US Road Trip Highlights: Hiking, Kayaking and Waterskiing Across Multiple States

Two weekly travel logs detail a cross‑country road trip that began on the East Coast and continued through the Midwest before reaching the Pacific Northwest. The first itinerary includes drives from Maryland and Pennsylvania to Ohio, hikes in Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Ledges Trail, and a final trek through North Cascades National Park in Washington. The second log describes a summer itinerary in Wisconsin and Alabama, featuring trail walks in Door County, kayaking on Lake Michigan, and multiple days of waterskiing.

Both accounts note personal health updates, such as clear biopsy results after recent surgery, and emphasize outdoor recreation, fitness routines, and family time throughout the journeys.
