The Great Western Tour 2008
Well, we leave on Sunday.

We're going to drive up to South Dakota, camp there and spend a day at the badlands and Devil's Tower. Then we'll drive to Montana and spend two days with the Swanniks--some of Greg's oldest and dearest friends. They live near Missoula. Another day of driving will take us to Oregon where we'll spend five days paddling and visiting with friends both his and mine. Around August 7th we'll drive down the California coast communing with the redwood trees, stop in San Francisco for some good chinese food. The next day we cut east to Nevada and spend two days with my folks. After that, it's over the Rockies, through Kansas and back home.

Two more days and I feel healthy as a horse. I have been running, trying to get in decent shape to keep up with greg mountain biking.

I am really looking forward to this trip being everything I wanted the Tahoe trip to be. Fresh air, sunshine, hiking, paddling and biking.

Let it be, let it be.
