Welcome Wanderers!

So what's this all going to be about? To tell the truth, I am not quite sure of that myself yet. It started with a plan. I recently began developing a rather ambitious idea concerning how I was going to get from college in Columbus, Mississippi to my home in Penn Yan, New York. Sure, I could take a bus or train, maybe go by air, but then I started to consider what I would be missing by taking the easy way. For reasons I may or may not go into at a later time, I have been pursuing all manner of new experiences, new adventures these past few years. I have been SCUBA diving off the coast of Nevis in the Caribbean, I've built log cabins for a hunting guide in Alaska, remodeled a house in Florida, explored Seattle, Nashville, New Orleans and New York City, and been on numerous camping and hiking trips in a variety of locations. This year I have been considering a cross country bicycle trip, Mississippi to New York, seeing and experiencing everything I can along the way. This here shall be a chronicle of what I experience along the way, possibly interspersed with random stories of past adventures. Also expect a few random quasi-philosophical meanderings written with the intention of convincing the reader I am more intelligent than I really am. Enjoy!
