Mr. and Mrs. Harrington wanted the Times to report that the previous 40-odd days would not have been possible had it not been for the following:
- Luella's gift of the America the Beautiful: National Parks and Recreation Pass allowing us to enter over a dozen National Parks free of charge.
- The Albany County School District #1 for hiring and paying us.
- Navajo Durango Subaru for fighting the heat and maintaing energy to get us from one destination to the next.
- Couchsurfing.org for providing an avenue in which to find places of rest and nourishment via our Couchsurfing hosts: Joey, Z-Ray, The Castro Family, David, Jay and Lisa, Ken and Deb, Nick and Diane, and Kate and Ethan.
- The friends and family who graciously opened up their homes and/or lives to us as we travelled through their areas: Luella, Dave and Liz, Amanda, Seth and Charlotte, Garrett, Lauren, Abram and Mallory, Tom and Phyllis, James, Tom and Patty, Harland and Brenda, and Grandma Barb.
- In-N-Out Burger for providing two of our best meals.
- AAA for getting us out of a sticky situation for less hassle than we could have on our own.
- God for creating the landscapes which make up this country and the many National Parks we visited.
- Farmers who provided many great produce stands along our travels.
- The faithful readers of the Harrington Times who kept us encouraged and connected to home as we made our way around the Western U.S.
