Wow! So much to do and so little time. I have decided to start the ride even though I am a little underfunded at the moment. I guess you could say this is a "leap of faith" in more ways than one. I just want to thank all of you who have encouraged me, given me tips and tricks, warned me about the dangers, and contributed financially.
An adventure is, almost by definition, striking out on an odyssey with a lot of unknowns. This will definitely be an adventure. Each day will be different. A different section of highway, new scenery, different people to meet, different weather conditions, possible road hazards such as flat tires. I am actually looking forward to all of it, even the problems for the problems contribute to the story.
I will miss you all, so do try and keep in touch. I will probably be done riding by 3pm most days and more available to talk via cell phone. Texting and email, will help me conserve battery power.
Many have asked about how I will stay in communication. I will have a Solar/Battery battery charger. It is a battery and solar charger in one unit. One hour of daylight can provide 10 minutes of talk time. I also plan on taking my notebook computer and blogging every day I can get a chance.
Well, I have to get back to preparations now and get ready for the big day tomorrow!
