Thanks so much, Jeff!
2 years agoHa! That is a fantastic slogan.
2 years agoYeah, I've been working on paring it down for years. I'm still meaning to post my packing list as a blog post one of these days. I was pretty determined to make everything fit on my rear rack and was pleased that I did. But it all still weighed 50 lbs just before I left! After the first day, Dani met up with me to camp the first night together, and I sent home with her some of the food I had packed, a cable that supplemented my lock, my iPad mini and my deodorant. That must've shed a few pounds.
2 years agoI look forward to following your journal. I did the TransAm (East to West) back in 2006, and now, coincidentally, live fairly close to the route in Henderson, Kentucky
In case you haven't already heard, the Baptist Church in Sebree, Kentucky is a great free place to stay, with nice indoor accommodations, including a shower.
If you have questions or need anything as you approach my area, let me know!

You seemed to have really pared down your gear.

You ended up shaving your head! Smart move. You're definitely more aerodynamic now.

Deodorant? You may want to run that by your Warmshowers hosts. I'm joking, but extra food could ward off the bonk. I am really enjoying your posts.
