I'll take that to heart jamawani and reassess my plans/desires.

I may just head to St. Louis (~200 miles) and call that it for a tour. I need to go there anyway for the flight, and the trail to there is about as nice as it gets.

The marital problems come from my wife's battle with bi-polar, mostly. Happens every year around this time. Shame it doesn't happen in the summer, nights outside are much nicer, at least this year I've still got a roof.


Also, thanks for the advice and help everyone.
If I get my bike to Fl, I'll be sure to look you up FL Rando. Thanks for the offer for company.
