Why?
So why are you going on this crazy road trip?
Why not? No really, why not? Life can and will get too serious as we all get older. Kids, house payments, car payments, credit card payments; those will all certainly come with time and they’re the reason that someone can’t just pick up and leave. When else are you going to have the chance to go wherever you want, whenever you want? I have always been an adventurous guy, but it has always been in short instances. I worked for a few years, got some good experience, and decided that now could be the best time to pack up my gear and go sleep on the side of the road in a van. Luckily, Nate felt the same way. So now the dream has turned into reality. I’m not showering too often, and shaving even less, but we just spent three days biking in Whistler and now we’re hanging out in the San Juan Islands. This morning we spent four hours waiting for the tide to come in to get the boat unstuck, and neither of us really cared. There no alarm clocks to wake up to, no schedules to keep, and no reason to do anything other than what sounds fun at the time. Hey, the weather is awesome over in Utah? Let’s go there! It’s dumping snow in Wyoming? Jackson Hole, here we come. So, to sum up the answer to the inevitable question “Why?” well, Why not?
