I'm off to my long-distance tour in a few days:  6 states . . . 24 days . . . 1070 miles.  I've logged about 600 miles in training to help me get ready for this tour.  But that's not enough training in my book.  Still, it's better than air training.  And what lures me to take such a crazy tour?  Questions, mostly that I ask myself.  When was the last time you spotted a horse in Spotted Horse or smelled elk musk in east Lusk or ate granola in Granada?   So, every once in awhile, it's a healthy thing to break from the norm and venture into new adventures.  For starters, I hope you'll whet your appetite for your new adventure by traveling vicariously with me from Spotted Horse to Oklahoma City!   

More to come!
