I beat the rain!

So after just over 220 miles the rain finally stopped. I am just south of Savannah GA and celebrated by stopping for some food and to wring out my gloves. They are totally soaked and my hands are freezing yet again as a result.

I figure after I gas up here I'll shoot for another hundred then call it when it gets dark - wet gloves + below freezing is a bad idea no matter how cool I think I am!

Oh one other issue - my phone is almost dead and I'm fairly certain I left my charger in a motel room a few days back. Woops! So I'm keeping it turned off and only checking it when I need to, should be able to milk it a couple days that way. Updates via Blackberry mostly for now then!

Gear Review: Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks

In the past couple months on the road I think I’ve spent more time riding my scooter through rain than I have in the dry – this is clearly reflected in the fact that as time has gone by I’ve invested more and more money in things to keep my stuff dry, since wet gear sucks. One of my favorite purchases for this trip is the pair of Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks I picked up just before leaving, in 13L and 20L sizes. They cost me around $20 each and are one of the best pieces of gear I’ve purchased in years – extremely durable, effective, and simple to use.
