On the Road in the Morning

So, everyone has probably been wondering, "Where is Greg and what has he been doing?". Well, the short answer is "Not a whole hell of a lot". I had originally planned to leave last Wednesday but I wasn't totally prepared yet. Then the weather here in beautiful Oregon wasn't on my side, so I postponed a few days.

Another reason I was postponing a few days was so that I could take off at the same time as my buddy Gary and his girlfriend Merisa. I just got off the phone with Gary and he's still not finished up with his work that he needs to get done before he goes. I'm going a little crazy sitting around the apartment so I'm heading out solo in the morning. It's going to be me, my camera, and the Little Red Rocket filled to the gills with camping gear.

Over the last few days I've been packing up everything I need and dumping it in the living room. Looking at everything spread out over the floor, I was getting nervous that it wouldn't all fit! For those of you who don't know, I have a '09 Honda Fit which is surprisingly roomy for a sub compact, but it's still a darn small car.



But after some careful packing (actually stuffing) the car I think it's all going to fit. I still need to throw the cooler and my bag full of clothes in, but that should be easy.





Oh yeah, I picked up a new backpack to carry all my camera gear. I'm really liking it! I can carry all my lens, my extra camera body plus all the supporting crap and a laptop in this beast. It's one heavy SOB though with all that gear in there. Should be able to burn off a few pounds while hiking with it, or just die of a heart attack. :)



OK, that's about all for now. I'm on the road in the morning and will be updating on facebook and tweeting if you want to follow along. My facebook profile is on the right along with my Twitter account.
