Dratj 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 A spare, some patches, spokes, a full toolbag, and a thumb for when it was beyond roadside repairable. Just outside Pittsburgh, Kansas, I had my rear wheel disintegrate and had to hitch a ride into town. The guy at the shop dropped everything he was working on and built me a wheel on the spot. The kindness of strangers was one off the most amazing things I discovered on this trip.*L*T*That's really cool. Did you ever get lonely during the trek? I mean, beside its being physically challenging, it must be mentally challenging too? Link to post Share on other sites
*Lone*Trout* 0 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 That's really cool. Did you ever get lonely during the trek? I mean, beside its being physically challenging, it must be mentally challenging too?Immensely so. But I got into the introspective nature of my trek. Took serious stock of my life and where I was going with it. It was a transformative experience to say the least. The monotony of the road at times was ovewhelming. But, the nice thing about touring, as opposed to "going out for a ride", is the whole "point A to point B" aspect. Seeing things in micro instead of macro (i.e. seeing the trees instead of the forest). And the people I met along the way, people I still have friendships with, are what made the journey so rich. As well as the memories. I'd do it again if my body would let me. But unfortunately, I'm closer to 50 than 25, and no matter what I want, I have to face the reality that touring across the country with full gear is a brutal endeavor. Now if I could get my wife to follow me in a sag wagon.......... *L*T* Link to post Share on other sites

Finally decided to read. Literally have spent hours reading and have to call it quits at the halfway point. Looking forward to part two someday. Had to quote this one because the blink and travis w/ aquabats thing is just awesome, and I also have a harry potter scar. It was nice to see someone else shares the mystical powers.Thought(s): MBN holes in ones. I feel a bit empowered now that I've never shat myself knowing that so many good men have. Here's my late contributions:-Also owner of harry potter lightning bolt-Attended michael jordan basketball camp between 9-10th grade after my mom won it through a grocery store contest (autographed, framed jersey FTW) Also a team picture that placed me next to MJ and Eddy Curry was on our team. He was a 7-8th grader. He was already an inch taller than MJ at 6'7. Crazy.-Got to take BP/fielding before a few chi sox baseball games as a kid-Was on TV with Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari for a segment of their I Bet You show.There's other random stuff I'm sure.....but after reading many pages of tornado survival and chilling with monks at the most amazing location ive ever seen....everything i think of seems quite marginal Link to post Share on other sites
