Just typing up loose ends here in Austin before setting off on my trek. I have to be at Sun & Ski at 8:30am to pack the vans tomorrow….which means I must have everything I’m going to take ready by then. I spent last night stitching cursive Ls into my clothing, a la Laverne goes to summer camp, so I can tell what’s mine after sharing a washing machine with 20 others…bike short chamois are not sharable. I have a small back duffel bag, clothes for every season, first aid, hygiene, bear spray, a Tom Robbins book, sleep gear, stamps, and technology. I typically forget something on all my journeys, I just hope this time it’s small enough to fit into a jersey pocket. Write me! In the name of sleep, I won’t have the time to transfer everyone’s addresses into my moleskin notebook, a return address guarantees a postcard. Now it’s time to mellow out and go with the flow…
