Hah! I thought I’d have posted my first big tour (the first one for which I kept a journal) here by now, but I’m just too busy!

Thanks, Jacquie! I've been working my way through your journals as well, although "working" isn't the best choice of words since I'm enjoying them so much. I suspect I'll be following in your footsteps (specifically, your routes) on a trip or two after I retire.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of it. I suspect I'd agree with your review, and will check it out.

i started reading it yesterday after clicking on a photo as it scrolled by. You kept my interest!

I recently listened to the audiobook version of "To Shake the Sleeping Self" by Jedidiah Jenkins, son of Peter, who was influenced by his father's walk. He, though, rode a bicycle from Oregon to Patagonia. I found all the religion stuff annoying, but overall, not a bad book.

Wearing helmets in 1982? They were pretty new here in Vancouver in 1987, when I got my first. It was a Bell Tour Lite, and it wasn't light.

Thanks for taking the time to read it! And for thinking that I actually have an oeuvre. :-)

I'm looking forward to your next installment, hopefully in the near future.

Thanks for a great novel, Mark. I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest of your oeuvre too, when time permits. May your adventures continue far into the future!

What a different perspective I now have of Uncle Sterling! My earliest memories of him are from when I was four or five? He entertained me with goofy faces, voices, and crazy antics. I couldn't stop laughing. It was magical.

Love the shorts!!!!

I've thought this same thing about people's stories when I see abandoned houses.

That quote should be on your book cover. Lol!

You know I loved this part of the adventure.

CowSpeak! Ha! I speak Bison.

You just creeped me out for sure!
