High school buddy and ferry captain Lon Calloway did my father, Paul George Vaughan, former WWII RCAF pilot, proud. With the RCAF flag flying (thanks to Lon), and with Lon at the helm, we sailed out to the middle of the St Mary's River channel where we scattered pop's ashes followed by Lon sounding the Master's Salute (three long then two short horn blasts) while dad's ashes drifted down river along the Canadian border and into the Straits of Mackinac. A heartfelt tribute for the dad I loved dearly. Thank you Lon.
PJ's Run was originally created in 2006 to document the training for and tackling of my dream run from Boulder, Colorado to Petoskey, Michigan: 1400 miles, 6 states, and 57 days on the road from June 6 to August 1, 2007. Since then, I continued to post occasionally with a focus on my running endeavors sprinkled with other bits and pieces of life. Fast forward to January, 2016 and my new Quest! To run a trail in every state. More adventures to write about in PJ's Run!
