Bought my last new toy: a great camera, Canon G12. I'm hoping to spend a lot of time learning all it's bells and whistles. I've always loved photography and I want to learn more, try more, take more. That will be one focus of this trip.
The other will be painting. Watercolor. I do it because it helps me see better. Helps me notice the details better. Helps me appreciate the beauty at a deeper level. And I do it only for me.
So while the wind and rain is whipping around outside and my guts are whipping around inside, I'm putting the finishing touches in packing. Packing for 3 months on a bike. Packing for a weekend in Portland for my niece's wedding. Packing for 2 backpacking trips. And packing for the road trip out and back to Wyoming. That's a lot of stuff to think about, don't ya think? Now do you understand my anxiety?
And I hear the snow levels in the Rockies are the highest ever so flooding is expected. And they're having the worst spring winds ever. Should be a "fun" bike ride! Add to that, Blaze and I are slower than molasses. Hope I can make Boise on time to meet up with a friend who's flying out to bike with me to Portland. There's always catching a bus...or hitching...in a pickup truck:). I'm sure glad to have the company and teach him about bike touring. He's certainly an adventurous bloke, I'd say!
(If you notice Aussie terms dropping in every now and then, it's from too many hours of watching McLeod's Daughters. I feel like I live there!)
Pedal on,
