Caught bus to Virginia Beach, still a little too cold this far north.
Jan.11th, 1998, Virginia, Beach, VA
Got a cheap room on the beach to regroup and sort out some gear. 75lbs is too heavy to cover the kind
of distance I want to in a day.

Lost a bunch of gear. It wasn't tied to my pack well enough. Didn't even notice it fall.
Got a little sleep curled up on some rocks under a drainage culvert.

Decided to head down the coast and out of the busy congested area of Virginia Beach to find a quiet stretch
of beach to start my walk. Met Doug gettin
an ice cream. Asked him for a few directions and he offered to give me a ride.
*Doug and Jason for givin me a place to crash and work on gear.

April 5, 1998, Paducah, KY
I can feel the stare of a cop parked across the street.
Although he would have made my journey more difficult, I
miss Lucipher. I was surprised when he jumped up to watch me walk away barely
reaching the back window of Travis' truck.
I was also surprised by how it made me feel. Letting go isn't easy
sometimes, but I couldn't have found a better home for
him. Travis is a good guy and a 600 acre farm is great place for any dog to live
especially for the one I know Lucipher will grow up to be; wild and free.
(later the cop stopped me and took more than he gave)
