the weather in tennessee has turned wintry again and this time i'm not going to stick around to enjoy it. i need sun and warmth to climb, and neither is available here for the next little while.

pencharz is here visiting now, and we've made the call to push the long, very long drive to hueco tanks in el paso, texas. poor guy - we had some great weather last week and when he gets here it's cold and i'm sick.

i have been here for over three weeks now and it's certainly time to move on. yesterday felt like my body had an allergic reaction to the obed as i spent the day doubled over in pain from my stomach which had gone on strike. i felt positively wretched; enough is enough!

hitting the road again, good by to the southeast, hello to the southwest.

it feels great to be moving on.
