Today I woke up from my first night of camping out on the road, it took me close to 2 hours to get my gear all packed up and back on the scooter. Mind you, I ate 6 oatmeal packets and made sure to enjoy every raisin they had to offer. Stuffing my -20 degree rated sleeping bag in its sack isn't an easy task either, needless to say I need to work at getting more efficient at this whole packing up and hitting the road dealio! As I was rushing to pack up, it was raining in every direction all around me, and I only got hit by ONE drop of rain. Thanks Todd & Tony for looking out!
As I scootered along I came across this guy, Dave who has been riding his bike and living on the road for the past 7 months! I chatted it up with him about different nomad tips as the police stopped to ask if we were alright, no need to run from the cops this time ;)
As I got into Vernal, Ut I knew that the schools were too busy for me to talk to so I decided to give the juvenile detention center a shot. I walked in and talked to the director and she was kind enough to allow me to share my story with some kids there. There were two kids in particular that I was able to connect with, sharing our stories about how we had tried to stop smoking and drinking but there was never really an excuse big enough to turn down a chance to get high with our friends. Exhausted after being on the scooter for 6 hours, that was all I needed to get me back on cloud nine! Tonight I am balling out, I'm at a KOA campground sleeping on lush grass with stars sparkling overhead and geeking out on the laptop, 'not exactly roughing it' ;) haha
