Fight the Bacon Boy “Gotta get there” all I want and I still went 900 miles today. I have said to anyone who will listen that I love the American West. Simple, vast, beautiful, full of interesting travelers and all the roads are 80MPH. I have a van full of metal art and tools, a book of maps and the desire to come out of a week of this with more than just a road weary body and a lot of miles under my belt. I seek inspiration, perspiration and new ideas. I expect the installs and deliveries to take me to cool spots and interesting people.
Being the incurable optimist I threw in a couple extra pieces. We shall see.
I’m off to a good start. I went from Austin to Tucson today because of dread - robbery. My truck was stolen for the tools onboard back in January. I thought about sleeping in the truck but – well – I may be a little old for that. When I arrived in Tucson I stopped at a gas station and fired up my laptop. Hotwire came through. For a hundred bucks I got a room at a lovely resort with extraordinary security. A cold local brew and a good nights sleep. Then back on the road.
