Back

We are back from our long journey. The last few days were spent in Brooklyn with bbq's, big buck hunting, and a lot of skateboarding. Our friend Shawn brought us to a little private (kind of) bowl in Williamsburg which, according to me, was one of the best things we got to skate. Big thanks to him for taking us.
On the drive back to MA, we stopped to see our friend Doug who, despite being in the middle of uprooting his life and moving, took some time out to share in a beer with us. It was great to see him after all these years. Still as positive and happy as ever.
It's always good to get back home after being away for awhile. But a part of me (a big part) is a bit sad to realize that the trip is over. Last night, Rich and I joked about getting back in the van and continuing on. We were able to see so much great stuff and skate so many good places in such a short amount of time. I can only imagine what could be seen and done in months/years of this lifestyle. It has finally become clear to me that Kenny Reed has it right.
A large and loud "thank you", Rich. Every year you make this trip something to look forward to. I swear next year I'll drive more. Look at how well I do with the cooler now. Think of the possibilities if I apply that to driving a van.
A equally large and loud "thank you" to Jenny and James for hosting us for a few days and taking time out of your busy lives to show us around and spend some time with us hobos.

I'll miss the daily updates, but I can only assume that Rickville is still THE happening town online.
