going through the south

i just got back from a week long rv trip through the southern states. we started up through arkansas, to tennessee, down through the smoky mountains and north carolina, georgia, alabama, mississippi, and lastly louisiana.

it was me, my dad, my uncle hank, and my brother. this was sort of a delayed graduation present for me, but really we just wanted an excuse to go somewhere together.

the first night was in a koa camp in nashville where we listened to three struggling artists sing original material around a campfire. the most memorable was a lady's touching song about her 'first time'. it was sort of like bob seagar's 'night moves' only a lot more discriptive.

then we camped in the smoky mountains for three days, hiking trails and putting new and interesting objects in our fire. we all visited, ate, and howled at the moon before we decided we'd make the two day journey back home.

on our way we were able to stop in livingston, alabama to meet up with some relatives and have some down south home cooking. the conversation was pleasant, at least i think so, i wasn't really sure what everybody was saying.

and now its back to watauga for just another hour until i go to lubbock to marry a few friends off. after that, new orleans for my going away trip and then i'm gone to salt lake city for training at my new job.

please check the date on this. i plan to keep these updated

alright, so this is my first real blog. i'm starting it so that others can keep up with my many travels and adventures and i realize that myspace isn't exactly the best place to do that. a couple things about me.

i don't like capitalization.

other than that, if you have recognized calvin and hobbes as the greatest achievement of mankind to date then you have a pretty good understanding of me.

i would also like this to be introductory, somehow telling everyone the sort of topics that i'm likely to post. however that would be impossible at this point, i simply don't know. hopefully i'll post pictures, stories, and opinions that EVERYONE MUST AGREE WITH.

here's hoping to post something soon.
