Look! WORDS!

No, really. Words. Who would have expected? (Okay, there’s a picture too.)

Going out of the world tomorrow – have a chance to hitch a ride to the Bend to see an old mentor and a group of old, new, and potential friends. Will be back, with (I hope) new stories and a few pictures, in a week or so.

Don’t really know what the photo options are going to be, since I AM just hitching along rather than driving. I’m travelling pretty light, especially for cameras (Pens, ink, and notebooks aplenty, though…).

It’s not my preferred way to travel but it DOES cut the gas bill significantly. Thinking of this as a recon/scouting trip – I’ll be looking around and taking notes, mostly. I haven’t been down there in a while, don’t know what’s still there and what’s gone, and although I THINK I’ll have access to at least the bloggery I can’t say whether I’ll be able to post. Or whether I’ll have anything TO post.

But my luck does run pretty well there…. (That’s Emery Peak in the center; the view is from Pittman’s Point on Long Draw, just west of Terlingua Ghost Town.)
