if you check the picture next to the paragraph closely, the horse is definitely chilling there to the left of the shot…

I too loved the LOST reference, and am wondering if the horse was really there or if that was another LOST reference (nah, there probably was a horse).

Also loved the Nixon joke – I can DEFINITELY see you doing that in my head, haha!

Finally…wow, man, just wow. Keep ‘em coming!

LOL here:

“with the deadweight of a laptop, Gameboy Advance, two notebooks, a Spanish dictionary, two padlocks, four condoms, a portable magnetic chess set and a mostly unread Tom Robbins novel hanging from my back”

It was also funny in an ironic sort of way when you figured out Joe from the Red Cross was there in case you got hurt—yikes!

I thought the poor kid from the Red Cross following you up the mountain was the best part.

You have such a knack for writing a good story Yancy! The image of you dry-humping/doing the vertical worm is hilarious although I am sure it was not so much at the time. Your trip sounds AMAZING so far!!!

“My initial rides involved holding on for dear life while being violently shaken like a Home Depot paint mixer; by the end of the weekend, I would be standing freely, arms in the air and wind in my hair.”

This is my favorite part! Well done!!!

I also don’t think I would ever have the stomach to try eating Tonga. I mean I know it was cooking in your backpack all day but yuck.
