The Big Country

Chapter 1: The Pacific Northwest
Forward: Burning Man
Well, we're already just over a month into our road trip and this is my first post. So much has already happened that I don't know how to even begin to write about it all at once. Burning Man was an intense reintroduction to city folk after a summer spent pretty much with just two other people camping in Nevada. Confusing, jarring, but ultimately beautiful and rewarding. Then it was up the coast to visit friends and family along the way. It has reminded me how many generous, interesting, and generally great people I know (and don't know yet). Thanks to everyone who's let us stay with them so far and shared some of their time with us!
We've already begun the next chapter here in Missoula, Montana and tomorrow it's off to Glacier National Park, hopefully before too much snow hits.
