Saying hello before I say goodbye.

I haven't done much public writing so I don't know how entertaining this is going to be. I'll try and find a way to make the story of a trip across the country on a motorcycle, avoiding highways and hotels, interesting.
Some how.

Anyway, first off I want to thank everyone reading this blog. I don't usually say much about my life, so this is going to be a trial for me to record and tell everyone about the goings on in my life. I especially want to thank my mom for being a lot more supportive of me leaving than I thought she'd be. I'm not sure how comforting that is. I also really want to thank the people I'll be staying with along the way! And finally I want to thank Dee Powell for helping me work on my bike, for all the equipment and gear you're letting me take on the trip, and for being such an awesome blessing in general.

There's the first post. Feel free to say hi in the comments, I'll try and check this between now leaving. I'll plan on my next posting being September 10th, the day I take off on this adventure!
