As I sat on a bus headed from Arlington to New York, I tried to think about all of the moments from the trip I wanted to talk about.  In New York, Kyle was preparing the necessary equipment to start filming a series of interviews for the Expedition 2012 documentary and when I arrived, it was my job to speak insightfully about what all of these experiences meant to me.  The trip took sixty-seven days to complete—the bus ride about four hours—but before we had even left Virginia, as we crossed the Potomac River, I realized something the trip had changed in me that I hadn’t stopped to recognize before.

Day 44- “Nothing exciting ever happens before we are out on the water.  There are rarely even any good thoughts worth writing down.  There seems to only be enough awareness to do what needs to be done to eat, pack up, change into wetloaders, load the boats, and go.  Today was no exception.”
