It snowed last night. Isn’t that remarkable? Here it is the end of April, it is supposed to be spring. Cleveland has just broken the record for the snowiest winter on record. Now we have broken the record for the snowiest April on record. This was the perfect weather to just snuggle warm inside and savor the Freedom Quest journey, so far.

We have had to change plans and make adjustments, yet all of the technical glitches and, problems are nothing compared to those facing the freedom seekers and conductors on the Underground Railroad. What would it have been like living during the days of slavery’s terrorism? Sometimes I try to imagine my own mother, my four children and grandchildren, Nik, Jeremy, Brandon, Nate, Ruby, Irene, Brian, Helena and Alex back 200 years ago. What choices would I have had? What choices would I have made?

Can you imagine? What do you think your family would have done?
