The Journey Begins
It seemed like I was never going to get out of my house and on the road yesterday. All these things that need to be done before heading out on a 3 – 4 day adventure. I just learned that people in Austrailia call these kind of adventures “walk abouts”. The term originated from a an aborigini rite of passage and is really interesting to learn about http://bit.ly/MwuG8.
Finally out on the road yesterday at 1:30 after a run, I buttoned up my “normal” life ( though I’m not sure what’s all that normal about it as I certainly seem to live outside the box even on a day to fay basis) and headed out with my friend Kimberly, who will be with me for 1/2 the trip.
Kimberly called a friend in Minneapolis where we were headed the first night. He comped a room for us and treated us to a wonderful sushi dinner! What a great way to start the journey, which I have coined “the Fruit of the Journey”.
A big thankyou to Charles for your hospitality in Minneapolis!
We are now driving through scattered downpours enroute to the Badlands… The journey moves West!
