I will be leaving... in 7 months time. I don't know when I will be returning only that I will be gone for quite some time.
Despite every nerve in my body telling me that this trip is the wrong thing to do, "it's irresponsible, it's selfish, it's at a bad time, it's stupid, it's dangerous. In 7 months I will be driving across the Ohio state line hopefully not to return until I am done.
A pilgrimage? That makes sense. Pilgrimages are journeys for the religious or spiritual to a holy place in hopes of achieving some sort of enlightenment. Some sort of... inner peace. Some sort of... bigger purpose.
I know my limitations or, at least, I think I do. Maybe this adventure will help me to become closer to who I really am. Or maybe it will kill me. Whatever the case may be. Death is not the ultimate goal.
I will be taking my laptop, guitar, books, plenty of water, money, credit cards, clothes, 2 person tent, paper, pens, my drum and anything else that seems important at the time. There is room for two in my car.
Ideas?

TAKE ME! Kidding of course. I have always wanted to do what you are about to do in 7 months. That is fantastic. No distractions. Just you, nature, music, and.... a laptop and credit cards. Well, you can't be COMPLETELY on your own. You don't want to pull off a Chris 'Supertramp' McCandless. But what about work? I know your sick of it, who isn't? But one must make a living. How is it living? WHO is even LIVING? I dunno. But I am happy your going for it! Please don't die in an abandoned bus or have your car stop in the middle of a storm and take a ride from a man with a raspy voice...
