I've been (as usual) obsessively reading touring journals over on crazyguyonabike. My focus the past few weeks has been the Northern Tier of the US. I'm not quite sure why, except that it goes through some territory that's very familiar (my father's hometown) and a lot that's completely new (would love to get to Glacier National Park before they have to rename it).

Yesterday I got home from work and found that I had been mistakenly sent the complete ACA Northern Tier maps. I ordered a book from ACA a week or so ago--it was a downloadable order, so nothing to deliver, but I suspect their system automatically generated a shipping label, and that label got slapped on the next person's order. I'll be calling ACA as soon as it's business hours in Montana, but in the meantime I'm itching to open up these maps and read them and pretend that I'm the one planning this tour.

So Shari from Juneau, Alaska, if you happen to be reading this--I've got your maps and won't actually open them but will make sure they get safely to you, and I look forward to reading your crazyguy journal.
