So for the first time, I'm writing this real time. I've been in Fast Eddy's restaurant for the past hours, catching you guys up on the adventure. It feels good to be writing in the present tense, instead of doing everything from memory.
I'm heading to Fairbanks, where a Toyota guy just had a baby girl but is trying to find some time to talk trucks and share a beer with me. I'll likely find a motel for the night, as the truck is not equipped with a shower.
I should also take time to thank you guys for your support and encouragement. I know it might seem like kind of an idiotic thing to do, but driving has always been something that's cleared my head and allowed me to focus, and this has been no different. Alaska came into the picture because hey, why not. I'm having an absolute blast, and it's helping me gain clarity on a number of things, as well as being a welcome break from the last four years.
Anyway, I hope you're enjoying reading this as much as I am doing it and writing. I'll keep up the adventure and hopefully you can share some of it through this medium.

Your postings are great and I am so inspired of your trip and seeing the rest of the country, My only question is : what are you listening to when you are driving all day?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the thought - I've never been called inspiring before, but glad to help.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to my ipod, which had about 4800 songs from rap to country. When mine got stolen, my great girlfriend fedexed me her ipod. And I left my CDs in San Francisco (at a friend's place). So it's basically my girl's ipod, talk radio or Christian music. On good days I have some country stations, and in larger towns there's usually a rock (sometimes even rap!) station. Hasn't been too bad.
