4 Weeks To Go


Entry #2 and we're changing plans again.

This last weekend, we gathered up our gear and started weighing everything. The Bob trailer is only rated for 70 pounds (isn't that enough?) and we REALLY want to be on the "lighter" side. Everything was looking OK, till we loaded on the two one-gallon jugs of water which we KNOW we will need out in Nevada and Utah. That put us over the top and we had to start looking at what to skim off.

Looks like the laptop is staying home after all. As nice as it might be to have it along for communication and writing, it's NOT an essential piece of gear. In fact, not having it along would probably ADD to the quality of the trip by avoiding the complexity of hauling technology along with us.

This IS a vacation you know! :-D

Since the laptop is staying home, that means that once we hit the road, the blog at TandemTransAm on Blogspot will be the place to go to check up on our progress. Unlike this blog which I can only edit/update with software, we can edit blogspot from wherever we can get a web-based connection to the net, like public libraries, or maybe police stations? ;-) Bookmark THAT site, not this one.
