Ressurrection

7/13/19

Well… as many of you know, my trip up the East Coast this year was cancelled due to family illness. Things are  better now and with much encouragement I have decided to ride the Southern Tier again. I have spent the past few months in my art studio

 

and now am trying to decide whether I will write stories this year or send out watercolor paintings from the passage through the Southwest, Texas and the Deep South.

Just 8 weeks from now I will be in San Diego staring East 3070 miles to Florida wondering if yet again I have lost my mind.

Training is going well, up to 40 miles a day in the NC heat…I passed some friends this morning along the way…

            

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but they were too busy to engage.

As the heat intensified

 

I decided to call it quits and took to the water.

Wish me luck with getting in shape over the next 56 days and I will consult others

 

               

as to writing stories or…

           sending pictures.

 

 

 

 

In the end they are really the same… just different shades of me.
