Not much to report. I’m in a hotel room, hammering on pages with Jeff, Basher and Lucky. Getting a head start on the next issue, we are.

Some images, from the stat of the tour, up until now, pretty much:

001. “Pushing off at 3am.”
002. “Gary: As ready as he’ll ever be.”
003. “Waking up in The Dalles.”
004. “Some Idaho.”
005. “Trailing a PT Cruiser.”
006. “Gary beds down.”
007. “That west.”
008. “Around a dark corner, on a winding road.”
009. “Just ahead: Doom.”
010. “And just past that: Hope.”
011. “At this moment, in these hills, Indiana Jones was tied to a stake and the ark was just getting ready to get a little riled up. A guy’s face was gonna melt. Other things, too. I looked at Gary. Gary looked at me. We shrugged. We just kept going.”
012. “Made it.”
013. “Those Avett Brothers.”
014. “Scott Avett’s kick drum.”
015. “Obligatory Eisenhower Tunnel shot.”
016. “Mile High Stars.”

Field Notes makes Garrett Dimon’s “noteworthy” section: “Since I’m trying to get away from the computer and get back to pen and paper more, these came along at just the right time.” Well said, friend.

Buy a hot dog, get yelled at, do some yelling. Kinda cool, but, kinda weird.

DrewDC comes in with a link that has a section that really captures the west: Dustin Aksland’s Under The Western Freeway.
