new development...

The expeditionary force has been halved. The tension between Christian and myself kind of boiled over last night. We were increasingly getting on each others nerves, and this morning he suggested that we salvage our friendship by parting ways. He has headed back to the States and I wish him a good and safe journey back. As for me, I am continuing with a minor adjustment... I think I will scrap Alaska from the itinerary. Mainly because I want to minimize solo border crossings and the loooong crossing to Fairbanks. There will be plenty of ground to cover in Canada, and I still plan on doing West Coast, and obviously the Easterly crossing. I picked up a laptop so that I can continue to have contact via web, but do not have the 4G hotspot to lean on, so updates may be more sporadic...  we shall see
