back from the depths.....

of life that is. since march i've worked at a movie theater in my hometown, then in june i went to thompson, pennsylvania to be a camp counselor at a sleep-away camp called camp chen-a-wanda. i can't really describe to you what went on there, or how things were, so i won't try. let's just say it wasn't pretty, but i made it work.

so now i'm getting ready to leave for chicago, il on my bicycle. i will be riding with a good fellow by the name of andrew. he's from the uk, likes to spin fiery poi and hold hands over candle lit dinners. i met him at camp chen-a-wanda, and he was crazy enough to take me up on this ride. he's got til november on his visa, or whatever documentation he has, so he's chilling out.

if you want to be super fans, here's our tour itineary:

day 1: Oswego, NY to Rochester, NY approx 70 miles :: destination Norene's house
day 2: Rochester, NY to Point Breeze Campground :: approx 90 miles
day 3: Point Breeze Camp to Sara's Campsite Erie, PA :: approx 70 miles
day 4: Sara's Campsite to Willow Lake Campground Geneva, OH :: approx 50 miles
day 5: Willow Lake Camp to Huron River Resort :: 97 miles
day 6: Huron River Resort to Big Sandy Campground :: approx 74 miles
day 7: Big Sandy Camp to Shipshewana Campground :: approx 95 miles
day 8: Shipshewana Camp to Chicago, IL :: approx 124 miles

the trip is estimated at 674 miles. pretty sweet. should be a good time. hopefully we make it. there will be pictures and stories, but probably not many updates along the way. we'll see. until next time, friend.
