February 14, 2021 the drive - ch. 1 - brooklyn (bene and justin)
First stop on the tour was Brooklyn.

A massive snowstorm stopped in as well, more or less burying the van for a few days.

The weather did not stop me from visiting some special buds, including Bene Coopersmith and Justin Christenson, who both did their generous parts to get me set up for the road.

Bene with books, Justin pants.

And both with good cheer and friendly encouragement.
