Another Quick Update Before the End

I'm currently having a great time in Rutledge, MO at the eco-village, had a blast with Draplin and Ryan in St. Louis, depite St. Louis. Loved Louisville, KY and had a fantastic couple of days with Kathleen Lolley there. The weather turned wintry all of the sudden while I've been in Missouri, there have been a few flurries and it frosted last night. I'm headed back toward Chicago tomorrow and plan to arrive back in town on Saturday or Sunday (if the weather is still so cold it might take another day) of this weekend. I'm a little weary and bittersweet about the trip ending but looking forward to seeing all of my Chicago friends again. I will have to lock myself in a room with a computer for a week or more to try to write the rest of the story of the trip...I'm thinking of putting together some kind of book about it as well, but the writing would need some serious attention before that can happen.

Thanks to all who have been following along, I apologize for the dearth of updates and barrage of photos (uploading hundreds at a time instead of a slow trickle). My biggest regret about the trip is not having a laptop with me, meaning that my updates have gotten so scattered and far-behind. Probably better to read the book when it comes out than trudge through page after page of new stuff in a few days' time. 10 weeks into the trip, looking down the barrel of 10,000 miles. Shiny/buggy side up...bald, rubber side down.

I have enjoyed the updates and photos from the start of the actual journey. I hope you are recovered at this point. I would dig an update. I am also interested in anything you end up publishing. Thanks for the vicarious vacation!
