This web paghe format was "borrowed" from Mike Read whom I've been unable to contact (no EMail known) for approval.

His excellent site is www.mikeread.com which covers his year 2000 experience.

My plan is to venture West beginning July 8 (after being Erick Herslich's guest at Farmington (CT) Contry Club....thank God for the handicap system.....

Obviously many people are, dispite gas prices, planning sililar ventures. I'm going by myself

(since I lost my wife/companion Norah March 2003), armed with tent,bags,cooler, bike, and kayak among other details to follow the L & C beginning in North Dakota (after Teddy Roosevelt) and heading where things take me- loosely following Mike's trek.....

Stay tuned for photos and log/details when I return in Sept.
