Are we strong enough to endure 21 days with Blue; is there room enough in Ralph's truck for the extra rations that will be needed? Will we be allowed to shoot a buffalo and make some jerky just to provide him with snacks? Good thing we have another 7.5 months to adjust our plans.
Just pinging on you Blue; we're happy to have you along for all or any part of the journey you can make. I wouldn't be surprised if your plans change another dozen or so times before we shove off next July. Will you be flying to Ralph's house and then driving up here with him or are you going to fly to Detroit and start here? Either way works.
Weather here is starting to turn cold and you can feel winter coming on. The maps and books are spread out around my office and I continue to fine tune the things I want to see and do as well as look at contingency plans to account for rain, mechanical problems and other distractions. McManus hasn't checked in for a while but I know his recovery is progressing nicely. Maybe it's about time to see what he's up to. These long winter months are going to drive me nuts but the anticipation of our trip makes it all worth while.
Let's ride.

With Blue signing on for the whole trip there will be plenty of room in the truck. We may need to tack on some side boards in order to stack the load. It's looking like we may need Jim's bike hauler yet.
ReplyDeleteMy tent can sleep 4 comfortably, six if you want to be real neighborly. I've got air mattress' and sleeping bags for Blue and me. I think I can muster up a couple more if needed.
I need to survey the camp cooking gear to see what will work. If any have gear let us know so we can get an inventory.
You can bring up on the screen the layover points that Fred has laid out. Just type in the name of the city and state and there is a bunch of information available. Listings of motels for you candy asses also. I think you need to be a little flexible on making reservations to far ahead because we don't know how well we'll be able to progress from day to day. Weather, traffic and road conditions can get to be a problem during the vacation season.
