Although we are departing about six months later than we originally planned, it turned out perfectly. We both got to spend some more time with our families before leaving, and now we're primed for some sowing study and livestock learning! Right now we're both in St. Louis and are heading down to Arkansas on Wednesday the 11th. We've diverged a bit from the initial plan of a cross-country motorcycle trip, and are instead setting out in a 1988 Volkswagen Cabriolet, which has about the same amount of cargo space.
Our first stop is a small farm in NW Arkansas which isn't close to anything except the Ozark National Forest. We anticipate a lot of greenhouse work this early in the season and are excited to finally be getting our hands dirty.
Right now we're in the middle of the last-minute dash to get everything done--errands, packing, seeing friends and family, finishing books so we can return them to the library, and doing load after load of laundry.
We have no idea if there is internet at the first farm, but if there is we will post again once we're settled.
Congratulations! Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteI send much luck and love to you both.
Holly and Randy, May the roads rise to meet you, may the winds be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face and the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may G-d hold you in the hollow of his hand. And may you learn a lot, find peace in each moment, grow in your understanding of the earth, and have a great time. Love Mom
