I'm trying to not think of this as some kind of omen, but the day before I depart I broke my camera. I was transferring equipment downstairs to the garage in a canvas bag in order to start packing my panniers, etc. Once finished I reached into the bag to retrieve my camera and I noticed that the LCD panel is shattered and the camera does not have a viewfinder.
so ... I guess I will vividly describe everything to you during the trip. My bike: imagine a bike that looks tiny and wobbly because it has way too much stuff on it. Hmmm ... this isn't working.
Tomorrow I'm riding from Minturn, CO to Buena Vista, CO. My friend, Merne Dragonette, is going to ride with me for the first leg. Laura will drive over after her day of teaching to join us in a cabin on the Arkansas River in Buena Vista. So far the weather sounds awful. We'll be riding through Leadville--at 10,430 feet it's the highest incorporated town in the U.S.--and the town is supposed to get a foot of snow today. I am beginning to consider a "plan B."
I'll update you as soon as I can.

Isn't it good that you know lotsa words?
¡Vaya con dios, Talbot Dale! We'll be thinking good weather thoughts for you!
Hi Tal & Merne, Hope your first day was successful and that any snow was avoided! Sorry about the camera, but I'm sure you'll provide colorful descriptions. Mindy
