Two weeks slipped by while I was looking the other way. Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Crawfish, Commander's, coitus. Music, podcasts, Pontchartrain. I confirmed plans to work in Telluride this July, and afterwards to spend a few months in California. I will drive from Louisiana to Colorado in the early days of July, joining other members of Chrysler's teem when I arrive. From the Telluride/Ouray area, we'll drive to Montrose, get on a plane and fly to Sacramento, where an associate will be waiting to pick us up. We'll spend 10 days preparing and packing gear in Georgetown before loading up and driving back to Colorado, where we will set up camp for the Chrysler executives who will be on the trail. July's remaining weeks will be spent in Colorado, maintaining and finally breaking down camp. We'll then return to California. If I have my own way, I'll be leaving Colorado in my car and heading southwest through Las Vegas and then Los Angeles. I'll spend a few days on the beach in Hermosa, then take Highway 1 up the coast to San Francisco. A few days there to see friends, music, and maybe eat some food, then on to the Divide. I'll continue to work for Jeep over the course of August and September, filling the gaps between trips with office work. The final trip is in late September, and after it's over I'll be driving up to Garberville in Humboldt county for trim-sesh 2012. When the month is out, I'll be done trimming and headed back to Louisiana for the winter. It's shaping up to be a pretty decent summer.
