    3000 mile trip via bike

    rode from jacksonville to fair haven, new york on my bike. the hammock, bug net, and the gray tarp were all made by me. i slept like a baby. however the 15.5 hours on the bike the second day, from bennett nc to fairhaven ny was brutal...

    i loaded the lics..but where are they?

    What the heck is that dome shaped thing behind you?
    We would be one step closer to world peace, if everyone slept in a hammock..

    ah...the yellow dragon! i hate the color of my bike. but yellow seems to break it up some, hence the dagon. i only ride the dragon now just to get a picture when i get a new bike. i've ridden it 50 times or so over the years. it is not my favorit place because of the danger others create. it is one of my favorite places to camp
