Day 30-36 Tornado Alley

Day 30

Entry from my journal for day 30:

Woke up in a cave in a canyon. A light breeze and golden rays of the sun greeted me and wished me good morning. I fed chipmunks while eating breakfast. I cruised on eastward winds past rolling green fields and endless blue skies. I was helped with directions by strangers. I watched lonely people at a truck stop. i got free coffee. I met a Texan named Mike. I took a shower. I listened to the erie call of the coyote. I slept to the dreamy chorus of crickets. Read the rest of this entry »

Day 22-25 Bittersweet Wyoming Days

Posted by jack On June - 15 - 2009

Day 22

Today was a rest day. I hung out with Reese and his awesome co-workers at Dornan’s, read, ate some of Reese the Master Sandwich Architect’s epic sandwiches, and sampled exotic cheeses at the deli. Reese’s co-workers threw a raging party tonight, which according to Reese is an average night there at Dornan’s. Read the rest of this entry »

Wyoming Oasis

Posted by jack On June - 7 - 2009

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 woke up this morning to the rain beating down on my tent. Packed up everything wet. Read the rest of this entry »

1000 Miles From Home- Day 16

Posted by jack On June - 4 - 2009

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. It was a very tough decision to make and I am sad that it didn’t work out differently. Read the rest of this entry »

Day 12-15

Day 12

Today we awoke in Dixon MT cold and a little wet from the morning dew (typical morning for us). Since entering Montana I have adopted the habit of sleeping out under the stars. I wake up in the middle of the night and gaze into an endless sea of distant stars that cradle a crescent moon who spills her silver light onto my dreams. Read the rest of this entry »
