A couple days ago, I got home from a big research trip.
I'd been wanting to go for years, and I finally made it happened. It would have been nice to have company, but no one wanted to go. So I drove the entire route that Evva and her team takes in the story. I'm glad I did. I got a big chunk of it wrong.
And to experience the journey more like Evva did, I camped. It was fun. And not nearly as stressful as I was afraid it might be. Except maybe when it started raining, and I discovered that the waterproofing I had used on my tent tarp was not fool proof. My tent started leaking on a freezing cold night. How cold? Well, when I woke, it was actually snowing. On the second day of summer. Somehow I was in a nice, dry pocked in my tent. Much of my stuff got soaked, as did the foot of my sleeping bag. Luckily that was the night before I got home, so I didn't have to deal with wet gear anywhere else. And luckily I have a really warm sleeping bag!
I'll write a proper post about it. This is just the teaser.
