I’m still not sure what is going on here… I thought the ex-machinist from Kent in Perma was a once in a lifetime coincidence.

I’m 1000 miles from what was my home with nowhere to go but anywhere I want. I made the decision today to leave the Trek and find my own way to New York. I made some amazing friendships traveling with the group, and I still want to continue learning about sustainability.

I spent the earlier part of the day saying a long goodbye to my close family and getting the rest of my things together. Perhaps a little to long as it was knocking 8 pm before I was able to leave.
From the window of a dusty pickup I waved goodbye to my family with tears in my eyes, and a knot in my throat. A forlorn ending to a beautiful chapter in my life, but I despair not. I am excited for their future as I am mine, for I know it holds treasures unknown for us all.
Jp’s living room was strewn with gear and preoccupied bikers sorting through their stuff preparing for the big departure the following morning. Everyone seems really cool so far, and I can’t wait to get to know them better.
Alright, I’m going to go pretend to sleep now.
P.S. – JP has nick-nacks.
