Tropical Storm Fay is forcing me to consider an alternate route.
I can drive to Northern Florida, I-10, and play it by ear from there. Depending on what I see and what I hear on the radio, I can go West
on I-10 or continue North to Atlanta, Memphis, Tulsa, Wichita, etc. I don't mind driving through a storm, but I don't have time to waste
and the storm could slow me down to 50 mph or slower during some intervals.
I thought of something to bring/share this year. I've seen just about everything
imaginable at Burning Man, but I never saw disc golf. I have two baskets and I will
put them on the playa with some of my discs. The baskets come apart for easy
packing.
I've always wanted to hang things to save space. This year I finally did it. The folded
chairs and blankets are hanging on the left and the disc golf baskets are
hanging on
the right side of the van. I washed the sheets today, and my bed is clean and
comfortable This is my home for the next two weeks.
Another first, a bike rack to free up space inside.
I added extra, safety lines to be safe.
But I will be driving through rain during the fist part of the tip because of the tropical
storm, Fay. I will start with the bike inside and hang it outside whenever I sleep.
Once I am through the storm, I will leave the bike outside permanently.
Tampa to Reno
I've chosen my route to Burning Man. It's a Southern route and will be a nice change of pace from the Northern route that I've taken out and back each of the last three years. It is 1000 miles longer than the Northern, Dayton-to-Reno route.
See below for packing pictures.
