Miles since the end of Hop 3: 370. Cumulative route miles: 1,492.  Total TN9 miles: 1,525. The 10 extra miles during my stay in Montclair were due to a single trip to see family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3 days in Montclair were basically family days, with Jett&#8217;s sons and grandchild. Wonderful people and always a pleasure to see them. Thank you, Devin and Mary, for the first-class accommodations. And thank you, Zachary, for letting me win the chess match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carl treated me to a sushi lunch before I got back on the road to endure heavy traffic all the way to Connecticut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went out to dinner one night but this was mostly &#8220;home&#8221; time. I did some genealogy research and drove the family to Dulles to catch a flight to Cancun. I also had dinner with Josh, Jett&#8217;s other son, and Cristina. A very nice dinner and a relaxing afternoon and evening. Thanks, guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beard continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>360 miles via VA 234, I-95, VA 123 to a lunch engagement with Carl, my old friend and travel companion from PCL2, then VA 123, I-66, I-495 (west of DC), I-270, US 15, PA 581, I-83, I-81, I-78 and US 22 to a refueling stop in Easton PA, then US 22, I-78, I-287 and NY &hellip; <a class=\"read-excerpt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/2023\/08\/04\/tn9-hop-4-montclair-va-to-greenwich-ct\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[46,63,47,48,37,10,13,4,7,110,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ct","category-dc","category-family","category-friends","category-nj","category-places-ny","category-places-pa","category-places","category-routes","category-tn9","category-places-va"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1VniU-3is","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12676"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12685,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12676\/revisions\/12685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
