excited

right now I wish I was there... :) owell soon enough... I also am reading an awesome book called "Ghost Rider" by Neil Perart the drummer of the Canadian band RUSH. So I am getting a lot of ideas and becoming more anxious... but yeah about 20 days and I'm off... Sooo much to do but I feel comfortable enough that I could leave tomorrow. (except the one small detail of my tire being flat...)

improvements, or NOT...


DOH, so it snowed but it's fun to watch the progress or lack there of... anyway a lot can happen in a month plus a week or so when I'm at this point...
plus theres signs of human life (other then the chain link fence)...

improvements ?

so this is 7 days later, it does look better the road looks dry, and I am ignoring the ice on the fence... I could ride this. I have now decided I will leave June 10ish and head North (duh) and I will come back along the coast so it is DECIDED !

26 days later...




Right on, this is much better though it is still border line freezing during the day it is progress... even though I like mud, 400 miles of it could get old... so hopefully things will keep improving... !
