I know what he means. That fateful evening 2 or 3 years ago... can't say much more than that.
Halloween is my favoritest holiday, definitely doing something fun if I can manage.

Is there anyone in Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, or Utah that might be relatively on the way? I'm cool with heading an hour or two out of my way. Up until Chicago I won't have to drive any more than 5 hours at a time which is freakin awesome.

Sorry man, but you missed me. I came, I kicked, I ate thai food.

Thankyou everyone. You all made my trip a success. I can't really think of many other ways I could just post a shout out and have connects all accross the nation. Hell, I even made the news.

On a down note, my tranny started leaking and burning fluid. I'm stuck in Sidney, NE until Monday.

The only upside is I have time to rest my aching knees, and stitch a few more bags. Maybe I'll take this time to work on my blog and post picks of a few of my bags.

This is cool stuff!

I road tripped around the US for about 10 months when I was 22 as well. Isn't it fucking great!?

Nebraska eh? Then you are halfway to the west coast my man. Safe travels. Glad to hear you are taking care of the leaking fluid thing now. Regular preventative maintenance is key to surviving on the road. Your car must be treated like a king.

You may be too far west, but, if you see any Taco John's, try them out. They these things called Potato Oles. They're basically like mexican tater tots and they are unbelieveably delicious.

Send an email to Rippin Rick Reese, I believe he still lives in Ft Collins CO which is not too far off I-80, def close than Denver. Rippin at footbag dot org. Worth a shot.

Have fun on the road.

Take lots of pictures.

Seriously, pictures pictures pictures. And video if you can. You will be so happy to look back on them years later.

It's funny that you mention Taco Johns. I used to live in Boise as a kid and they had a taco johns there, (probably 12 years ago) they had a deal called Taco Tuesday, $.50 tacos. When i stopped off for gas recently there was a taco johns and I just had to stop in.

I'm really bad at taking pictures. I do have a bit of footage from DC. Maybe I'll have a video made by the end of the winter.
