Today is day one of my Lap of America. In about 3 hours I'll climb into the Jeep and start schlepping enough electronic equipment to power a small star across the central part of the US. The real cool part is that I have no planned route, just places to stop.
The subtitle of this blog is Notes From The Road Less Traveled. Well, I'll be pointing the Jeep down those roads starting around 9:00 this morning.
I feel like Crockett or Boone must have felt when they pushed into new territory. I can't wait to meet the people and see the sights I've never seen before.
After a week of seeing new stuff, visiting old homes, relatives, and generally getting sick of riding, I will be in Ennis, Montana. This is another place I've never seen, but one that I've read a lot about. I'm dreaming of a trout as long as my arm.
Note to Missy: I only keep the fish if I do a lousy job of catching them. If they're injured beyond recovery, they get consumed (if regulations permit). The others are admired, sometimes photographed, and then sent back to their homes on the river bottom so somebody else can enjoy them too.
Well, I've got to turn this thing off and shove it into the Jeep.
One more note: My postings might be a little erratic, based on where I can find a WiFi connection. Rest assured, you're all in my thoughts and prayers.
We have Lift-Off of the Cosmic Muffin!
Bye Dad! We will miss you!!
