Getting Ready

June 15, 2007 on 2:13 pm | In Blog |

Ok, so now is the time of reckoning. My site is back up and running and I’m sure I haven’t lost ALL my readers. In less than 48 hours, I’ll be on the road towards Memphis as my first stop on the greatest trip ever. At least, I hope. No one can predict the future but if all goes well, this pilgrimage will be one for the ages. I have nearly everything I need (camping gear, dry ice, camera) and some stuff I hopefully won’t (batter jumper, first-aid kit). As the third installment to my road trip list, this will be the longest of my life. The estimations are somewhere between 10,000 and 12,000 miles. 12,000 miles is half-way around our planet! for reference. The first half of the trip will be hot (Southern/Desert half) and I will be by myself the whole time. The second half will be much cooler and for the last 9 days I will have a friend Jeremy Porter joining me. Hopefully I will be able to see all my friends in all the different places they are along the way. Just for heads up, the website format I’m using is dynamic and could change drastically even while I’m on the trip. So if you don’t recognize the site at first, keep reading and you will soon discover it’s still me. I will do my best to update often with many pictures and if you click the RSS feed button then you can subscribe and therefore be notified when I’ve posted something new. Well, I’m off to continue preparing to embark upon an epic journey. Pray for me and leave some great comments! Also, my phone will be constantly on if you want to call me in your city of choice. Here is the basic schedule so you know what’s coming up.
