ARE WE FECKING THERE YET??? I'm staring at my US Army Duffel bag by the door, compliments of my Uncle Sam at Fort Ord, California back in 1968; D-2-1, Pride of the Infantry! Everything I need, except for clothes on my back, is in there and I'm ready to ride. For dos centavos, I'd just ride right now to Creel and wait for you guys!
I have been looking forward to this Mexico Copper Canyon trek with you Gents for so damn long now: It is driving me crazier than I normally am! LET'S GO! VAMANOS!!!
I've got to admit, I've not been able to focus on much else this week...
I'll probably pack tonight.
See y'all soon!
