adventure ahead
4th of July approaches. Just over two weeks. Last year I spent it on the ranch with my father. Kathy and I drove the coast that afternoon in her convertible; smoking pot and looking for fireworks to buy. Good times. The year before that, I was in my first apartment. My world was more alive and hopeful then I had never known it to be. I sat in my window sill, drinking coffee and talking to Todd all night long. The best of times. This year, I will be alone. But that is by design. My uncle and his family are going up to his cabin on Big Pine. I asked him to haul me along. But I wont be staying with them. We head up Friday after work, and I am sure I will sup and rest that night with them all. However, crack o' dawn Saturday, I will depart in my little kayak loaded with my gear. The lake is huge. By huge I mean 4,730-acre huge. I intend to make it all the way around the shoreline and back before my uncle leaves on Tuesday. If I make good time I will port to Little Pine and include that on my trek. I have to get kayaking a bunch the next 2 weeks so that my arms don't fall off the second day. And supplies and gear are being checked and rechecked. All risks are attempting to be met with a counter. I am a little afraid. To go all alone that is. I am not sure of what though. I think I may only be afraid because since I started planning this people have been telling me its not safe to go alone. But when I think on it... Now, the bad side of taking someone else... I will post MANY MANY pics. Leave me a NOTE :) Jun. 14, 2006 "Om Mani Padme Hum" "Experience is a hard teacher - she gives you the test before the lesson."
