Mapquest says 4,055 miles with 70:30 worth of driving in the last month. In reality, both of those numbers are greatly increased when you figure in our time spent driving the wrong way, or driving towards rivers which didn't parallel the highway. But either way you look at it, it was a long freaking way to go surfing.
We raised just over 100 dollars to bennefit Cystic Fibrosis. Due to the small amount, we did not split the donation, it is just as we recieved it. I would like to thank those at the Albequrque CF chapter for all of thier help, cooporation, and the box of literature and schwag to hand out.
I parted ways with Scott back on Tuesday and I headed north to see Chewy. After a night in Boulder I said my goodbyes and began the trek towards Santa Fe. I stopped in Pagosa Springs to surf their wave, but much to my disappointment, with the dramatic decrease in water levels, the wave quality decreased equally. I did not even get out of the truck. I camped along the Piedra river maybe hoping the creek I had looked at previously was still runnable. It was not, so I went fishing. Camped out, and left the next morning. I stopped along the way to do a couple laps on the Racecourse section of the Rio Grande, it was low, but still entertaining. I am now house/dog sitting until July 1, at which point my schedule opens up...Completely. And I will be lost out west all over again!
