Now I am getting back on the horse (so to speak) and I am getting nervous. Add to the fact this will be my first major tour that I will be doing solo.

I can't help but think of the number of warmshowers guests I have had from other countries. Barely speaking english yet they set out to a foreign country alone and crossed the whole thing. But they were much younger than me and bolder. When I was young, I did a lot of things I might not attempt today. But I did have a guest in his 70s that did the transam. He is my hero.

I am also concerned that the trip might be a bit too simple / boring. I am headed down the Willamette. Long way to go for me on the other side of the country but the route certainly fits my requirement of easy and low stress. Just a bit nervous that it will be too simple. But I guess what is done is done. .
