Remembering an old trip and training for anew.

Camp at Monty

Random thoughts while resting at Monty Campground, Deschutes National Forest – August 3, 2012.

I like this campground; it’s a beautiful setting.

Being healthy is awesome and it gives me the ability to do these things (traveling by bike).

My spelling sucks, and at times, so does my penmanship.

I checked the map and couldn’t find a surefire way of getting to Sisters through the Metolius Scenic River area. Eddie Vedder’s Long Nights is playing. Love Into the Wild. Christopher McCandless and I would have been good friends, I think. We both obviously cherish our wild places. I wish I could have met him.

If I had my guitar I would be practicing with it right now.

My bike had a crash today as I was removing my panniers from the racks. The bike fell on its side breaking my mirror. Not the mirror itself, but the clip that mounts it to the handlebars essentially breaking the usage of said mirror.

 The future is bright.  Musings from the open road begins.  Remodeling is almost complete.
