Leaving Tomorrow

The car is packed, roof rack on and Thule is bolted down; tomorrow I drive to Vancouver. Just to let y'all in internet country know what is going on I am driving to Vancouver where I am rendezvousing with Gill. On the 4th we meet up with Tessa and Marija and the odyssey begins! I hope that this trip will give me some time to relax and ponder life. 16000km and 2.5 months should be adequate. I read a story in the paper today about a guy who sold all his possessions and drove a single cylinder BMW motorcycle around the world for 2 years. I hope to reach that level of awesome in a shorter time period. Throughout this trip I plan to catch up on some book reading, see the ocean and get some really great rock climbing in! Stay tuned internet goers cause you are not going to want to miss this!

The Road Trip Begins . . . in two more days

It has been quite a while since I last posted here but that does not mean that things have not been eventful. I just this past month wrapped things up at university and I now have a ring on the fourth knuckle from the thumb on my right hand. The UVic Caving Club is now under the command of a new president and I am back in Calgary briefly before the start of my next little adventure.

This summer my friends Marija and Tessa, my girlfriend Gill and I are going on a road trip around the US of A. Below is a map of what our trip may look like.

As for Calgary, below is a photo of what my backyard looks like. Yeah! Happy April! If you are wondering, is that a Martin Davis cave suit? It sure is, it is a black ballistic nylon cave suit and it is all mine!
