BTW, Denise, I read ALL of your journals on crazyguyonabike.com. It took some time, but definitely worth it! You are not just an awesome bike rider, you are an awesome writer! I enjoyed each journal immensely. You made it so real! Thank you for taking the time to write and share your experiences. The photos were great, too, but it was your narrative that was truly the treasure.

Annie -
Thanks so much for your comments. It's always fun to hear from people who have enjoyed my journals. It's funny, I started out on my first 2 trips with paper journals that I later transcribed. But I much prefer uploading my journal entries from the road. And either way, I just assume that I'm going to spend some time writing at the end of the day. It keeps the trip alive for me well beyond the end of the trip, and it allows me share my ride with family and friends, and new friends too - who I haven't met yet! Getting feedback from people while I was on my cross-country trip was awesome. And being greeted by Chuck in Yellowstone National Park - "Are you Denise?" - because he had been following my journal was just unbelieveable.

If - or maybe I should say when - you decide to try self-contained touring... if you have any questions I can help with, please ask away!
