Cecil, I'm glad to hear of your quick recovery. Too bad the doc is "keepin' you down" for the time being. Better safe than sorry, I suppose.
J, I think it will work well. I'm still comtemplating leaving wednesday night, and making it to Omaha or something, to make for a couple slightly shorter days. We'll see.
My return trip I hope to be vastly different. I'm talking the whole following week off to do some backpacking in the Tetons. (hence my post in the "glovebox.") I'm really looking forward to spending some time in the mountains again.
which reminds me. I ran into someone in a coffee-shop over the weekend, who lived in your area for a while. He tells me I need to check out "black sand beach," the town of "Bolinas," and "Mt Tam," If I bring my mountain bike.. The sound like they are all in about the same area? Any thoughts? or did he just see my long hair and tell me to go where the hippies are.
