Had a great time emailing back and forth today with a new friend who plans to paddle the river next year with his brother. I’m jealous. Ridiculously, insanely jealous. I get completely immersed and overwhelmed for about a year while planning trip. Sometimes I wonder if that’s almost as much fun as the doing of it. (OK – not really. The Doing is The Thing!) It’s all-to easy to overplan and get caught in the minutia, but damn if it isn’t something fun to do while waiting for the day comes for you to leave. That sick, nervous feeling of anticipation is delicious!
To John in Wisconsin – best of luck next year in your travels. I’d love to be paddling with ya’ll.
