Thanks! It's an old Trek 720 Multitrack. Found it at a garage sale for $40, and all I had to do was put a rack on and change out the handlebars to trekking bars. I think the lady said she bought it in the early 90's. The rims squeak (despite moving brake pads a million times to toe in correctly), it's covered in stickers so nobody would want to steal it, and it's really heavy, but it's sturdy and gets the job done. I love my garage sale find. It's been a great bike.

No other plans as of yet, but I'm thinking about it. It worries DH that I go alone, but I told him it's no different than me going out for a 50 mile training ride. I think he knows I'm having serious wanderlust issues right now. I grew up moving every 2-3 years, and I've been here for 15- longer than I've ever lived anywhere by a long shot- and the urge to pick up and leave is really strong. He's rooted here and will never leave (despite being open to moving when we married 11 years ago- I've discovered I'll never get him to leave here ). Hopefully touring will cure my wandering soul.
