I'm still here and not leaving. I FUCKING LOVE ORGANON!

I shrunk a few. My folder from Utah will be posted later. I drove through the following states (couple of detours involved to see family):

Florida
Georgia
Alabama
Tennessee
Arkansas
Oklahoma
Texas
New Mexico
Utah
Colorado
Idaho
Oregon

Here's Mt. Hood. (I can see this in town where I'm at)

This is what I drove. Also I was towing my car behind it.

Total length on the road: 48ft.

Fuck yeah.

Albuquerque, New Mexico turned out to be one of the coolest cities I've ever been to. We ended up spending a second day there just because it was so awesome, and not just because Breaking Bad is filmed there.

Didn't hurt it any though.

Oklahoma is a dust bowel.
If you are really going to live in Oregon remember its NOT ORGANON. Italian food spiked with Oregano and a Oregon Pinot Noir is a good combo.

I didn't shrink my Utah pics yet so here's 3 from Oergenom. This is the Columbia River. I-84 runs alongside it for about 150 miles or so. It's the most beautiful drive you can take in Amurka.

These motherfucking mountains come all the way up to the road in some areas. The have signs telling you rocks falling ahead. Not watch for them. They were just letting you know they're falling and you're probably going to die soon.

Thanks, bro!
1. I got down to 165, then started working out pretty hard and am maintaining 180 now. Feels good, man.

2. Yes I am really staying here. There was nothing left for me in Florida but a dead-end job and a bunch of drunks/junkies that I really had no use for anymore. And I may or may not have a local here in the city who serves excellent bread with spices and delicious, home-grown veggies and has outstanding water.

3. See 2

@343,201 (HaikerensGuide !0VegJ9Jl.Q)
Most of them were shit. Colorado was just a brief stretch, but pretty nonetheless. New Mexico and Utah were the prettiest until we hit Oregon. Fuck this place is amazingly beautiful.

The only ones I have on here are of the pyramid in Memphis and of the ghetto campground we stayed at on Elvis Presley Blvd. We took the most boring route through Tennessee which also happens to be the longest.

About a half-mile of the beach is covered in these giant rocks that you have to walk across. Some areas you could hop from one to another and be out about 100 yards into the ocean.

Look at tide tables and go out at low tide and pry Mussels off the rocks. Cook up in white wine and garlic and live off that beach. Bluffs up from beach have blackberries all over the place in August.

Fuck yeah. I have blackberries growing wild all around where I'm at. That sounds delicious. Canon was about a 2 hour drive for me, but the beaches that are close by look pretty similar. Those rocks. So different than the Atlantic.
