I'm leaving Seattle tomorrow morning, pointed approximately south - southeast. I'm going to follow some main highways down through eastern Washington and north-eastern Oregon, stopping for the night wherever I get tired. My two dogs are pretty excited. They know we're going somewhere, because I've been gathering my gear all day.

I'm looking forward to meeting those of you heading to Moab! This should be a blast.

A few issues:
1) I hate packing. I always feel like I'm forgetting something important...which is dumb, since there's a Wal-Mart on every corner these days, where you can pick up anything you left behind.
2) Gas prices! Holy crap! Nothing like taking a 2 1/2 week raod trip when gas prices are at an all-time record high. And I'll be in a loaded Vehicross, which gets bad mileage to begin with.
3) Already bought my regular-strength, non-Utah beer.

See y'all on the flipside!
