It is now in existence. The challenge lures us on......Scotty has put in his notice at work for July 31. I have one more trip to Pittsburgh, then I will put in my two weeks. Well, actually, with a change in management, the cat is way out of the bag. Which is fine.
Scotty has been fantasizing about a long tour since the last one he was on. New Mexico to Georgia, a few years back. He has done this before. He is ready.(as noted in the photo) Me on the other hand. I have no idea what I am getting my self into. We have done a few overnighter's. 200-250 miles. Nothing crazy. This is the time to do it. We are not getting any younger......
We have discussed the possibility of a trip like this for a couple of years. We have both been ready to make a big change. Feeling a little stuck in our situations. I quit my "real job" almost a year ago. This set me free. Leaving me with less responsibility. Making it easier to flee Denver.
Scotty has hated his job since we met. I have often consoled him with the idea of this trip. To hang in there. It will pay off. This is now. Well, soon.
Here is an
example of our inspiration. I made this card to cheer up Scotty. It reads " Keep your eye on the carrot, Jackass! I love you and want you to follow this one through. It wont be easy, but lets make it work the best we can"
