Out of the U.P.
Published May 26th, 2008 in GeneralWell, I’ve left the Upper Peninsula for good now. College is finished, work is over and I’ve moved out of my apartment. Wednesday or so I start my trip out west. Today I packed 10 boxes with almost 300 pounds of possessions and I’ll fork over around $230 to the USPS on my way out of town so they’ll be there when I arrive. Tomorrow I’ll finish buying the last of the things to ship to Shaktoolik and/or need for my trip.
It’s been a great 5 years, I’ve made a lot of friends that will hopefully stay with me throughout life and made a lot of memories as well. It’s time to move on to the next adventure and make more of both.
I’ve driven across the Mackinaw Bridge more times than I can count. Yesterday, it was symbolic though. A bridge to the next phase of my life.

I don’t know what to say … but you (and some more like you) most certainly made a big difference in my life at Tech and wish you all the very best for the West trip as well as Alaska.
Lucky you, the weather co-operated to get a good picture of the Bridge … for me, it was a thick curtain of snow and ice rain…
good luck,
