Hello again!
I've been starting to gather everything that I'll need for the trip. I purchased a lockbox since I don't have a locking trunk (http://www.oramagazine.com/images/0511-nov/051106t-holiday-gift/item17.jpg). It's sort of like that one but it has a door that open on the front, as well as the opening lid. At least this way I'll know that the equipment that I'm bringing will be safe. I'm not exactly sure how big it's going to be; even though it says the size on the website, I'll never really know until I actually see it in person and can start throwing some of my stuff in there.
I also bought the tent I'll be using to camp in. It had pretty good reviews at most websites, and since I'm not expecting much rain while I'm traveling, I don't think I should really have any problems (http://www.w-trek.com/images/solitaire.jpg).
Things are looking pretty well, so far. I have a lot more work to do to figure out the actual route I'll be taking, but after school ends I'll have a nice, solid two weeks to figure all of that out. I have a very vague idea of where I'll be going, but I still have to decide whether I want to enter Canada through Washington and go all the way across the country or travel through Montana and then go up there. It'll all be arbitrary, depending on what sort of research I do before I leave.
I still have to buy all the food I'm taking, decide what clothes I'll take, and find truck stops or camp sites to sleep at. I also have to buy my film still. And do some more shooting before then so I can get the development right.
I'm feeling a little nervous, a little anxious, and more than a little excited. I really need this solo trip in my life right now.
Over, and out.
