I was thinking wbout that this morning, trying to rememory all of them. American Samoa is waaaay out yonder.
Will try an spend some time on the board this evening, after three nights of camping we got a room in an old inn in Bar Harbor. It is like the Reyes Point of the east here, the end of the world. I can't rememory being this exhausted and fired up.

I will say this about the LaFayette campground at Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire: It is a very nice place to stay if you are deaf. A nice wooded setting just across the creek from I-93, we did manage to hear a bard owl above the sound of the semis.
It was Sunday night and I was tried and worked up and flustrated. Sitting by the fire I let my eye travel into a chamber of pure flame, glowing red, I imagined what it would be like to travel into such a place.
I reached into me pocket and found the tissue I used at the Cooledge Theater when I saw Brokeback the day before. I cast it into the fire and watched it blaze out of existance, its smoke carrying with it a prayer of thanks to heaven, thanks for my friends, for the opportunity to spend time with them, and like LaShaun emerging from the powder room, rudely cut out.
The idea of seperate and unequal lives resonated thru me. It was like the time I had just spent in Boston was the special time, it was where I belonged. How long now, until Alberta, until a chance to reconnect again.
"You don't have to watch that fire" comes the voice from the tent.
"I know" I said, and under that I thought anyway: "I'd just as soon sleep in the car."

Shakesthecoffecan:
I believe it will be in July, or maybe there are two different trips. Lets send a message to Tamarack, she was up on it when I talked to her.
