Packed and Stacked
Friday, August 17, 2007
I think I've gotten somewhat proficient at packing over the years. It helps to come from a traveling family. This picture was taken at the start of a very long (about 4 months) cross country trip from California, up to Washington State, and eastbound to North Carolina where I intended to stay until October working as a wwoofer at an herb farm.
Things didn't happen as planned. (Do they ever?!) When I get to that part of the story, I will tell all. My return trip to San Diego (aka home) followed a similar, but more northerly route and again included Washington State. The primary difference between going and coming was that I stayed in hotels along the interstate eastbound, but camped and traveled all back roads on my return. Another primary difference between the two cross-country trips was that I invited ex#1 (I'll call him JD from here on) to join me eastbound. (He flew back from Kentucky); but I camped alone going home. My return trip was waaaayyyy more fun!!
I'm now back in San Diego with plenty of photos and stories to share. I kept a journal. Day 1 on the road was Saturday, March 24th, 2007. I'm not the same person now that I was then. Now that I have access to my own computer once again, I hope you enjoy my story as it unfolds in this blog over the next several weeks.
