I have heard the whole bit about enjoying the adventure, not the destination. I try to live it - as much as I can, and I feel like I have gotten pretty good (sometimes) at purely enjoying my days for what they bring. The unexpected sometimes hits like a train, and other times brushes past us without even knowing the unexpected was even there. It's life, and it is beautifully unpredictable. But back to my question, if my goal IS experiencing the unexpected journey, then what? How should I approach a trip whose goal is the very adventure itself? I know I'll enjoy it all, the ups and downs of both the hills and my mood of the day, but if every goal is just to enjoy the day, I really hope I am not ruining this trip by searching for the unexpected. Anyways, here are some pictures, the packing is nearly finished, and everything actually almost kind of fits.
Welcome, everyone, to my brain's collection of thoughts during my bike ride from Mammoth to Vancouver - I'll be posting whenever I am able. I will try my best to entertain and to bring you all in with me on the journey - it'll be like you are sitting with me on my kitty-litter panniers... I have dedicated my ride to 350.org, so please check them out, and maybe, just maybe, throw a few bucks their way in my name....thank you and enjoy
