A year ago this day I was fresh from a LA bayou tour and feeling fierce heading to one of the darn near most pleasant places I've ever hunkered down for a few days, Lake Fausse Pointe State Park.
I was getting a little excited thinking about my long hours on the road last year while at work today. What an amazing gift I had to wander around America's corners for a few months on the university's dime. I still haven't completed the project to document my findings graphically - I've only barely gotten started on that project - it may be a long time coming. It is particularly challenging to push oneself on a solo project when you're working 10-12 hours a day at a desk across town. Although the work has been fun, it's certainly not the same as being on the road and being in charge of your day to day destiny, all the while living on a shoe string budget.
Happy V-Day folks.
