Friends visiting Zion over Thanksgiving encouraged me to begin my End to End blog now as they wanted to hear how trip preparations were proceeding. So, here I am blogging, listening to the Boys of the Loch sing songs from the Shetland Islands, about to go surfing for England's Canal Paths and abandoned railroad ways as recommended by Steve Maysfield, my British James-Bond look-alike friend.
Hit the jackpot over the weekend at a local adventure-good store's 50% off sale. Bought all the clothes I need for the trip with the exception of waterproof riding pants (a pretty specialized item). Now all I need is to pay off the credit cards! Still collecting camping gear--headed to St. George this weekend for a super light-weight sleeping bag on sale at another gear store that, unfortunately, is going out of business.
