Finding Fu

You think that the path of your life has revealed itself. Everything seems so clear. Sure, the road weaves to the left and right just a bit but you figure nothing major is hiding in those dark shadows. It's not until you turn the next bend that you discover that the road truly swerves and the path beyond that curve is unseen. This is my journey to see what is around that next bend. To find out, I'm hitting the road...

August 10, 2005

My truck will be my home for 6 weeks. It’s almost time to push West on my road trip. It will be mostly me and the open road. I hope to explore cliffs and mountains as well as canyons and caves. These activities will require a lot of gear. Though my truck is huge, my pile of equipment is huger (is that a word?).



Matt helped me to construct this platform for the bed of my truck. Actually, Matt was building it and I was trying to be helpful by not getting in the way too much. It will make it possible for me to travel in “comfort” or at least have a roof over my head. Matt’s expertise with power tools and design definitely came in handy.



It won’t be the first time that I have lived in my vehicle for an extended period of time. However, it will be the first time I am doing so while paying a mortgage and taxes (crazy-high taxes at that) on a “real” home at the same time. On some levels, that doesn’t make sense. On others, it makes all the sense in the World.

Fu,

Good luck on your trip west Fu!

Don't forget to put Calf Creek Recreation Area in Southern Utah on your itinerary. It's in the Escalante Wildlife area between the towns of Boulder (not Colorado) and Escalante, UT.

Hey Fu!

I didn't know about the 6 week road trip. If you can swing it, and stop in North Carolina on your way home would be fun... be safe (you know I worry!). JenniFer
