In under two weeks, I will be departing on a Trans-Continental rail-based adventure that still requires too much planning. But it will occur, and it will be good.
With me will be a single backpack filled with clothing, provisions, my passport, grains (fermented or otherwise), a sleeping bag, and several other accessories required for my general survival. Through the Canadian state I will take rest by couchsurfing, setting camp, and riding the rails. Once arriving on the Pacific Coast I will be accommodated by some of my best friends, but that tale will be for another time. In Alaska I stay with my Uncle, Aunt, and their several (read: >14) canines of the mushing designation.
My itinerary is set. Much like my historic two week European train jaunt of April 2012, I have provided you, dearest of all readers that there ever were or will be, a picture that saves you the great hassle of interpreting the cryptic "words", "sentences", and "paragraphs" I laboriously scrawl out with the chicklet keys of a destitute MacBook of yesteryear. For you quasi-intellectual types, I will go into more depth after the break.
