any relation to Wilbur and Orville? ;-)

And unrelatedly (other than it might well involve flying), any plans to go to Montana? I find it very tempting, but just can't justify that much of a trip (flying or driving) just to add a state. Tried to find a way to tie it in with a visit to my sons in Oregon, which we are hoping to do one of these months, but couldn't make that work. We are so glad we made our January road trip to the west coast (the one where we intersected with you at Cape Lookout), might not be another chance for a transcontinental 2020 road trip the way the pandemic is (re)developing.

He may be distantly related to the bicycle mechanics from Ohio, as we all might be, but Wright was his stepfather's name, as his biological father died before he was born.

Nancy and I have been looking at Montana, particularly because despite the fact that I haven't reached retirement age, I do have a bit of a surplus of vacation time, since this year's trips evaporated. Not enough that I can't carry it over to next year, but due to a couple of changes in the company vacation policy, I will need to use a bunch next year or else lose it (I think I'll need to use close to five weeks next year). Unfortunately, Montana is not a great spot to be going to right now in terms of infection rates. Proper precautions could minimize that, but I think there would be a required quarantine upon returning... so I think we're going to hold off a bit on that one.
