Ernest Hemingway was one of America's great adventurers. It's fitting that I am reading one of his greatest works on this, my greatest adventure. There is a line in For Whom the Bell Tolls that really struck a chord for me.
"I am an old man who will live until I die."
I'm a fair ways away from being an old man, but three days into this trip and I've determined to live every day of my life until I die. America is a beautiful, marvelous place, but this summer is a stepping stone paving the way to even greater adventure. Today America, tomorrow the world.

Let's see if I can up that number by about 10,000 or so before rolling back into Maryland.
