Welcome to my blog / travel log / another place to stick photos / whatever.
I go on road trips regularly, to see the country, take pictures, explore the local cuisine, clear my head - basically I get itchy feet now and then.
I usually keep a handwritten trip journal. This time I'm experimenting with doing it online.
I'll post pictures and share my thoughts where they're available and accessible.
On the other hand, most of my destinations are internet free, so I'm not sure how timely the posts will be.
So this trip I'm aiming for the Four Corners area - I've never been there, and I gather the scenery there resembles the background in Roadrunner cartoons.
Plus it's the setting of The Monkey Wrench Gang - this will be a perfect opportunity to reread it after 20 plus years.
I plan to jump off the interstate in central Nebraska and angle through Kansas to southern Colorado. My exact route will be determined by weather, scenery, recommendations, how I feel that day... it's not a planned sort of adventure.
If anyone has suggestions of sights to see, places to eat, things to do - I'd love to hear them.
The return trip will go through New Mexico - one of my favorite places. Not sure of the route there either, but it will probably involve green chile, Georgia O'Keefe, Route 66, native weavers... maybe I could start today!
It's Sunday morning now, I'm packing and trying to get work stuff covered.
I'm hoping to hit the road first thing tomorrow AM, and be in Kansas tomorrow night.
Books, music, maps, coffee makings, long johns, oil change, corkscrew, chargers, telephoto... back to work!
