Pat and I have had a dream for about a year now to hit the road and see what adventure we can find. Recently that dream has become a reality thanks to our new truck and a summer with no obligations. It has been a busy month of preparation. First there was all the work that needed to be put into the truck: a few minor rapiers, a topper to sleep under, and a platform built to sleep on. Now we are in the process of moving out of our house and into the truck. Once this is complete we will be ready for the open road. The plan... well there's not much of one. Head north through Wyoming and Montana is the general plan. We are starting the trip by meeting my dad and step-mom in Montana on the Big Horn River. This will be an enlightening experience as I have spent my childhood hearing story's about this river. It has been an annual boys trip in the spring for my dad for as long as I can remember. We have weaseled our way into a dad guided tour thanks to Pat's obsession with fly fishing. The idea is that I will learn how to row a drift boat so Pat can fish his heart out. Should be interesting with how high the water has been.
So there you have it: a truck, the open road,and a couple with their dog. Doesn't get much simpler than that, which is exactly why it sounds so appealing.
