A little bit about the trip.

So I've gotten alot of questions about the trip from many people and wanted to answer a few of the basic questions. First, I think its going to take me around 2-3 months to cross the country. Roughly 4,500 miles of asphalt will be crossed. I'll be carrying between 35-40 lbs. of gear on a 25 lbs. bicycle. There are two well know routes that I will be riding on, The TransAmerica and The Lewis and Clark Trail. The first 7 days will be me navigating the wild, thanks in part to goolge maps. My destination will actually be Astoria, OR. Its on the coast, and my plan is to sit out on the beach for a few days as my reward.

The Truth will set you Free.

Friends,
Today I have shed the last of my dislike and mistrust for all the things that have clouded my mind over the last few months. The truth has set me free to enjoy my own soul. I no longer fear that an evil man lurks behind my eyes, waiting to pounce on those least suspecting. He may still be there, but I have no need to fear him. A strong, beautiful, caring man has taken control of the home I've built in my head. In this home there will be a seat for all my emotions, and all things will be welcome in. Manipulation of the weak is not my crime, and I will no longer be a victim to it.

So, I encourage you all to look deep inside, and face any demons that may have taken control of your spirit. If it's time to do some spring cleaning, go into your home and throw out the garbage that has been stinking up your mind. A smile will appear across your lips and your heart will float in your chest because of the great weight you have released from over top of it.

Rejoice!

The RouteIts Official. I've given my notice at work and most of the route is planned out. Right now the tentative departure date is May 15th 2006. From here on out I'll be using this blog as a stagging point for news and photos of my trip. I hope to keep in contact with all of you, so you should be able to find all the info you need to contact me or just leave a note.

The One Larisa Bagged.
On the camping trip we brought a sling shot and 1000 paintballs. This was just the start of our destruction. So much for the "leave it how u found it" policy. This was the first kill of the night which was shot by our expert marks woman, Larisa.

This is Eric and Mike Frame on a recent camping trip some of us went on. Much, much fun
