10,000

yes, it's official. thus marks the completion of 10,000 miles this season, 2,100 of those being the last eight days of my one man caravan.
So how was it?
Although I have not yet been asked any questions, I am already at a loss for words.
It was everything I had expected, and nothing I had expected all at once. As I strapped on my bags and swung a leg over last Saturday, the air was cold and thick with fog, I had no idea what I was in for, and that's exactly why I was going. In the end, the odyssey served it's purpose well, and perhaps even more so than I ever expected.

The time has come for this journey to end and for me to be homeward bound. This is me breathing. This is me living. This is me loving. This. Is mine.

Deja vu..

Mountain air is perfect for breathing.

I am the walrus?

This is me in traffic.

Me and a pretty roadside waterfall.. Little did i know i would be in traffic for the next three hours.

Remember this bridge, dude?

Its a beautiful day somewhere in the mountains of NC.

Screw T.W.O.. Fred and mo at the kickstand lodge are the best!

Sweet.

Local flavor.. Tellico plains, TN..

Rain, rain, go away. And dont come back for five more days.

This. Is me breathing. Damm i love this road.

At the gap, there be bandits!

Im glad its not the 'healing bridge' !

This is me breathing.

9.16 7:12am - expectation

There has been so much I thought I knew I could expect, only to find that the only expectation that is worthwhile is expecting nothing. The timing for this realization is perfect; for the next nine days, I will learn what it means to expect nothing but the unexpected.

This. Is me learning.
