Final Preparations • June 7, 2010

I am enjoying the fresh, cool Adirondack air for one last evening before I begin my drive to Louisiana. I completed my OSHA training today. Most of my gear is packed. A late-arriving Deployment Checklist added a few items that I still need to track down and pack. Driving down, I'll be able to pack one of my guitars. My only regret is not being able to trailer my motorcycle.

A special thank you once again to Peter at Major Plowshares Army & Navy Surplus in Saranac Lake. A last minute call to his establishment just before closing netted me several pairs of lightweight BDUs. You owe yourself a visit to his shop at 18 Broadway, as it is chock full of new and used clothing and et cetera.
