First Leg of the Journey

I decided to take a break from studying to put this up (yay for procrastination excuses). I have found a better way to map my upcoming route after discovering Google has a bicycling option. My new route is a bit longer than I previously thought (596 miles instead of 570), but it is still completely do-able. An added benefit to this new and improved set of directions is that a quick perusal of the satellite view shows that I will be going through a heavily forested region, so plenty of places to camp.  

My family back home in NY has been nice enough to pack up some of my gear I didn't think to bring with me when I came back down here at the start of the semester, and they will be shipping it out to me tomorrow. So I will be doing this trip with all sorts of amenities.
              As my departure date approaches I am finding it difficult to quantify my feelings concerning my solo adventure. I suppose the best way I could describe them would be a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Tredpiditement maybe? Or how about excitementidation?  Eh, reader’s preference. Which do you prefer?
              In other news; I have come across a decent poster for the first festival on my list, The Orange Blossom Jamboree. Looks good, doesn't it?
