But First, Off To Colorado

After receiving a text message from my former student teacher who is currently in Colorado, I have decided to take a trip to the Rocky Mountains for some camping and fishing. I have not been out west and cannot be more excited about going. I will first stop in Nebraska to camp one night in order to break the trip up since this trip too is solo. I will have my new "Wilson 1000" CB antenna on and expect to have "CB" entertainment throughout the trip. I will post a couple pics after I hit the road which should be about April 4-5. ..so until then, keep the wind at your back and the bugs off your bumper good buddy and I'll catch ya on the flip flop....

My First Post

Well I have just set this blog site up so that the few people who may be interested in my encounters as i drive northwest towards Alaska can read about my travels. While this is only the beginning of March 2009, I will obviously be adding short stories and pictures once I take off which should be about Mid-June.

For quite some time now, I have really wanted to go to Alaska, however I prefer to drive. As long as I have no deadlines, thats the way to go. My plan once started is to basically camp the entire way, at least 98% of the way. As long as no unforeseen circumstances come along, I am expecting all to go well.  I will miss my daughter who will not be with me as I take this journey solo. I will leave in Mid-June and if all goes according to plan I will be wandering back in late July/Early August. I will make my posts brief as not to bore anyone once my trip begins and as long as I can get a signal to log on ....Until next time :)
