Course Correction
Ok, so the van's all put back together (mostly), and I'm set to hit the road.
But I won't be heading west, because it turns out some folks I know in Boulder (actually Lafayette, but no one knows where that is) are throwing their yearly party this weekend. This party is the fulcrum of my social year, so it's my destination.
This interrupts my plans to head straight west, and might cut New Mexico out of the trip. I'll have to decide how far south I want to back track, after this weekend. I'm still planning on making it to Death Valley and the eastern Sierras, so likelihood is high that I'll backtrack, especially since some of the people at the party will be returning to Albuquerque and Socorro, and we can all convoy on I-25. Yee haw! Or maybe I'll revisit an idea I had to head south on the back highways, and cross as many passes of the continental divide as possible without backtracking or duplicating. No doubt there'd be pretty stuff to photograph on such a trip.

oh. poo.
well have a nice trip!
what kind of van? i think of a VW Bus - but i would not think of this as a reliable vehicle - but cool all the same. A plymouth voyager would not be ideal - but more reliable than the other. Perhaps a conversion van? have a fantastic trip!
I can relate - I'm trying to get my bug together for a trip out to Midland and it's not exactly coming together!
Have a great trip! And enjoy your socializing!
I mean, don't get me wrong... I'm glad for you that you're finally getting back on the road and all that... but your visit was to be the fulcrum of *my* social year
Well, now I feel bad...
aw, don't feel bad. it's not like I actually had a plan or anything
