We decided early on in the trip that grooming our beards was a chore that neither of us felt was necessary. Here are a couple of pictures of the lengthening progress:

By the time we reached the East Coast, our beards had taken on a character that we most commonly observe in Civil War era photos. Just our luck that on our Amtrak trip we were granted an 8 hour layover in our nation's capital. We found ourselves compiling a photo essay of our lighthearted romp through The District of Columbia.....
Congratulations, guys on ending such a journey so... amusingly. I shivered in laughter at your DC photos. But even more so, thank you so so so much for keeping this blog. It's inspiring as much as it is fun to read.
ReplyDeleteDave - I am very hopeful that Chicago welcomes you home.
Neale - Wazzup!!!!!
Hilarious! And I think Dave's beard wins for sheer fluffiness- those photos need to be framed (my favorite has the waterfall in the background)!
