It's official....
I'M DRIVING TO GEORGIA!!!!!
Man, I can not believe I'm doing this.I used to get "lost" trying get outta the Christiana Mall parking lot in Delaware, when I lived in Jersey, for Pete's sake. But, I'm doing it, because "if it was easy, any asshole could do it", right Rob? I've had that phrase in my head all day, as I've been trying to work out/decide how to do this... fly?... train?... drive? Drive, it is.
Because his phrase, his Daddy's phrase, is true. Part of me is kinda scared, because I've never driven this far by myself before, but every time that part speaks up, the rest of me says, "You ain't gonna be alone. Besides Tyler, you KNOW who else is gonna be in that car with ya, so quit frettin', already. You'll be just fine."
I feel that. Flying was the first thing that was attempted to be worked out.
But, the cost at this point is ridiculous, plus I'd either be a burden to someone or at their mercy as to when I went where, so... I like the idea of driving, actually. I love to drive, period.
It's a HELL of a long way to go and the challenge is a good one.
I want to meet and exceed it. I also want to see the Crackerbox, at least from the outside, with my own two eyes before I leave Georgia.
I want to pick a 'mater and maybe even eat the thing.
What I'd really like to do is dehydrate it, like beef jerky or something and keep it forever, but that's what God made rocks, stones and maybe a twig or a leaf for, right?
Just something from the property he owns, that no one will care that I take home with me. As long as I can just stand in his driveway for a minute, that'll be more than I ever thought I'd be able do and be enough. I'm driving to Georgia.
Oh.
My.
Gawd. I am so numb/excited/scared/happy that I can't feel my legs.
But, I do need to stand up and get my ass in gear, getting together all the shit I'll need or want to take. And, OH MY GOD AGAIN!!! I'm going to be able to finally meet Cat, Velociman, Eric, Denny and all those other guys Rob loved s'much.
Oh, man. I hadn't even thought of that as a reality til now.
And, Sam... maybe I'll even get a chance to give Sam a huge ol' hug. Hol-lee shit. And, the very best thing of all is that I'll be able to give Rob my massive respect for him the best way I can. Ah shit... now I'm about to cry again.... Wow. Driving to Georgia.
For Rob. Okay then.
That's what I'm gonna do. But, now...
I need to shoot off a coupla emails and get my shit together. I don't know if I'll have time to post before I leave, so if I don't, I'll talk to y'all when I get back.
I will at least check my comments, so if anyone wants me to whisper their love to Rob, just let me know. Holy shit... I mean
Peace

LOL You're on friggin crack. Not for going to Georgia...for DRIVING to Georgia.
I expected nothing less from you though (and I mean that in a GOOD way LOL). For the love of God, just be careful huh?

ROAD TRIP!!!!
Have a safe drive. If you have a AAA near you, they will map your route for you. If I remember correctly, you don't have to be a memeber. Have a safe trip and I look forward to hearing about all the wonderful stories and people you met down there.
