I am starting the Transam from Astoria OR to Virginia on June 1st. My dates could be flexible I guess, but I really want to leave as soon as possible. All the preparing and talk on these forums really makes me antsy to get on the saddle. Of course I'm sure there will be many times while I'm on the saddle wishing I was at home on my laptop, preparing for my bike trip!

Anyway. I If anyone is interested in meeting up somewhere or starting the whole thing I would be greately appreciative of company. I will be camping the whole way through. I plan on stealth camping most nights with an occasional camp site or motel every now and then, but mostly site unseen. I'm so stoked!

By the way. If any of you ever need a great idea for long burning alchohol stove please let me know. I made one yesterday out of the the new Rockstar energy drink cans (the one with the lid at the top) and i got an hour and a half off of 2.5. ounces of fuel!

Happy Riding
