Two months ago I watched my father pass away. All he ever talked about before we found out he was sick was how nice it would be to travel now that he was finally retired. When he learned he'd be limited to a wheelchair and oxygen tank, every conversation ended with him saying how nice it would have been.
I've since gone back to the minimum wage bullshit life and I know it's not cutting it for me anymore. I have been dreaming of traveling freely for at least a decade. After witnessing my dad take his last breaths, I know I need it now.
So here I am, working towards my last paycheck, dusting off my old army gear, ordering new camera batteries, and of course, saying hello to all you fine folks at StP. This is also a shout out (hope that's okay, mods?) to any train kids, hitch hikers, backpackers, and overall tramps, vagabonds and nomads in Appalachia between Roanoke VA and Asheville NC, or anyone reading this heading this way: if you want to meet up, the first beer and pizza's on me.
Looking forward to a new life and to meeting you all!
