Well, almost. And, the Saddle will be my Kelty backpack as I commence my 2014 Walkabout on or about 1 August. The Theme for this year's Trek is Amity, Unity and Imagination. We all can share more of those energies in our lives and worlds.

Along the way I will visit old friends in Kansas. And new ones I meet along the way. If you know anyone along the general route I ought to encounter, let me know.

After conferring with my Kansas friends, I may head to the Southwest. But, my travel itineraries often change. So, it is hard telling where the route will lead.

I will endeavor to stop at libraries along the way to do weekly blogs for those who may be interested.
