In July, took a bike trip to Harper's Ferry where I camped along the C&O Canal trail.
1981—Started playing soccer with a local men's team. Also rented an organic garden plot. I discovered how good the gardening conditions were in Michigan compared to Virginia. The nearly impenetrable, infertile soil produced weak plants that were nearly finished off by the insects, and groundhogs. That year Dad required eye surgery in Boston. I went there to be with he and Mom. We then drove up to Vermont. Later in the summer I returned to Vermont to rent one of Bernie's cabins near the Town of Newbury and to camp for a night on our recently purchased property.
1982—Started learning about computers and computer cartography. The computer-oriented group in the Geography program merged with the more traditional Topographic Division to form the Mapping Division. Many of the geographers went on to head the new division. Our work on the land use program came to a halt and there was little other productive work while managed figured out our new role.
