The Day Before The Big Trip

PackingPacking and more packing.  As you can see from the picture at left, I’m lost without a list and it’s what kept me sane at midnight last night.  I hope I have it all, at this point it’s kind of late as I’ve left the house, nary to return for weeks on end. 

The TBEX Road Trip officially gets under way tomorrow and today we are getting together to test pack the vehicle.  At this point, we’re actually not sure just which vehicle we are taking!  But that’s a minor thing, really.  The technology is all in place, our route is plotted (and we’re still looking for diversions! :) ), all that is left is to make sure it all fits and then hit the road.

While we had grand dreams to hit the North Cascades highway, we have instead opted to take the direct Interstate 5 path to Sandpoint, Idaho.  This way we have more time to hang out and enjoy the hospitality of Lisa Gerber has lined up for us.  After about, oh, let’s say 9am tomorrow, check out the Wonder Map to follow along!  And look for a post coming soon from Austin on how he built the Wonder Map in case you’re curious.
