Life gets in the way
by Ken
Some recent developments:
- Katy and I are in the process of buying a house, so I’m lacking funds/time to do any lengthy trips this fall.
- The trip to the south (New Orleans/Florida) that was scheduled for this fall is being pushed back to May 2010.
- The Mt. Rushmore trip is being rescheduled for mid/end of summer 2010 next year, or maybe May 2011.
- Alaska is still on the table for July 2011/2012, depending on the timing of the Dakotas trip. This trip is the one that puts the fear back in me… this is my great white whale. New Orleans or the Dakotas don’t seem to difficult, but I’m sure they’ll be fun. When I think about trying to get to Alaska and back I get that same nervous feeling I had when I was on the California trip. Good lord I can’t wait!
- I want to write up something that discusses the gear we used on the last trip, but I think I need to go deeper than that. Gear is one thing, but attitudes, assumptions, strategies.. those were are more important than I realized. I’ll get something up on the site over the next few months. First I’d like to have a chat with Vargs about his experience on the last trip, now that we’re a few months away from it.

I didn’t realize you were into taking long bike trips. I will have to keep in touch with you a bit better. Heck, if you want to add another bike to the trip maybe I could pull that off too.
