The Trial Run

well, we couldn't seem to find the time to go to T.W.O. for the night to test out the trailer fully loaded so we're doing it tomorrow. depending on the weather we'll go either to a campground resort we have been to for the day to sit at the pool or we'll go to Big Dog Motorcycles to find goggles for kari. it's closer to home and would still give us a fair trial to see how everything feels.
i just got some tie downs for my bike today, so we're all set now.

things are really gearing up. we've checked out truck stops along the way and since they have wi-fi we'll be able to update the blog pretty easily. we also decided to camp out of the back of the truck. i borrowed a smaller width therma-rest mattress so we can fit 2 of them together in the bed of the truck and we'll just use our sleeping bags, stop for sleep at truck stops and grab a shower there when we feel grubby enough to pay the $9 or $15 they charge. they even give you a towel. that'll save a small fortune and we can always change our mind and grab a hotel room if we want. i love options. :)

all for now. t&k
