Done.

I just submitted my final paper for this semester at App State. Yet another semester down in my mindless journey towards my master's degree. I now have a few weeks off before summer session starts, and I'm only taking one class. I should now have more time to actually ride my bike instead of working on papers while dreaming about riding my bike. The weather here in the Western Piedmont has been unreal as of late, 70's...sun...beautiful. After I get through my one summer class, I'll be heading to Nebraska for a week to study Native Americans at an old fort near Sioux country. While I am out there, I plan on making full use of my time and doing some mountain biking in the Black Hills, and possibly over into Wyoming. I'll make my way there and back by way of both of my brother's places in Indiana and Missouri. It's going to be excellent...especially the 26 hour drive home, solo, mostly non-stop. Energy drinks, red eyes, and hot chocolate anyone?

This will be my waking vision in Nebraska...far different than NC
