Road trip starting tomorrow

Post by huddlec »

I am so stoked. Last Friday was my last work day (early out retirement, so I can enjoy what I can enjoy now! and so they can't have me training the new person by phone when they get around to hiring him/her) and tomorrow morning I head west on a 6-7 week road trip in my Tacoma. I have an old (but in great shape) Airwave K2?lashed to the top?and the paraglider and camping equipment, with room to sleep in the back. I will be picking up my new LitespeedS 3 in the LA area and will be stopping in to see Mike C in Colorado?(and?before that, at the home of a?roommate from the college days at UCSB), then on to SB to fly by HG and PG, maybe tagging along on the annual outing to Big Sur.
Dang, life is good.

Isn't retirement at 45 a little early?

Spark,
You have some contacts in the LV area in case it turns
out to be flyable when I pass through there (assuming
that's my route)?
Villa Grove was great. I was a tad nervous about
landing at such high altitude, but it was a non issue
with the 15 mph wind blowing when I landed. Great
scenery at 14,400'. Yesterday Mike and I went to the
Mt. Princeton hot springs. A light rain was falling,
so that and trip to WalMart (had to get an $0.88 knit
hat) and the makings for chocolate chip cookies.
Watched some Trailer Park Boys (I'd brought the DVDs
for seasons 3 & 4, at Mike's request). So relaxing not
having to go to work. With the snow falling now, my
plan is to stroll around the downtown. Wednesday is
supposed to be partly cloudy, so I'll change the oil
in my truck and head out on Thursday for Durango where
some old friends from Bolivar now live.
Christy
