Stopped before the adventure could even begin thanks to the fine folks at www.backcountry.com . Do not for a second get me wrong I have no ill feelings towards the wonderful people at Backcountry they have amazing gear and unbelievable prices they just did not get the gear to us as quickly as anticipated. Now the old military mantra beckons in my head "hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait".
We could certainly be stranded in worse places than Marshall, MN especially on a day like today. The sun sits highest in the sky surrounded by an endless ocean of blue with just the faintest brushing of white almost seeming like caps upon waves. High of 80 and beautiful a great rest day before the trip begins.
This down day has given me an opportunity to repack the car in a way that makes sense; we may actually be able to access our gear along this 2,700 mile road trip. Access it and actually have some space to expand into as this always happens on an extended trip. the back seat becomes an endless void of snack wrappers, fast food bags and dirty clothes. However, when you are starting out with essentially no back seat, where do you have to expand to? Good Question. We will see how this trip transpires!
With our gear drop today we should be off tomorrow morning! En-route to Pipestone National Monument and the Badlands!
The journey begins.......tomorrow.
