The Trans-America Trail maps and roll charts arrived today! It's very exciting and kinda nauseating at the same time. Exciting because it's the first concrete thing that says "You're going on a 5000 mile off road motorcycle trip!" ...and nauseating because it says "You're going on a 5000 mile off road motorcycle trip!"
What have I gotten myself into? Most folks don't go solo ...I'm going solo. Most folks go in August ...I'm going in May, which means I just might get cold and there will not likely be any others out on the trail when I am on it.
On the other hand, what guy hasn't at least dreamed a little about a epic cross county motorcycle trip. While it would be great to be a full time adventure traveler, it's just not in the cards for me. So, this will truly be a once in a lifetime trip. A trip to clear my middle aged head ...and that's really what this trip is all about, taking a break from things to get a little perspective on life at mid-life. I think a month alone on a motorcycle in some pretty desolate places should do it!
