At 530 this morning I had just got back from watching the moon over Boone out on a cliff in the middle of the blue ridge parkway with nobody around but a nice breeze.
I stayed up there for about 2 hours with my friend Emillee as she showed me the beautiful landscape. We talked about everything and nothing. We heard noises, we made confessions, we laughed, one of us cried, and I took a few pictures. It was a surreal experience.
This is essentially the first (unofficial) stop on my road trip. Although I haven't began to move, this is my 2nd day here and I'm loving it. I leave in 2 weeks , and I just got a call from my friend Greg Haskell (great tattoo artist) and said he wanted to link up with me on the road. So, if everything works out, I'll be joining him on his trip up North East, up the east coast.
He told me him and his partner have something to do up north and asked if I wanted to join. So we're going to meet up around the West Virginia area and me and my dog will be joining them and hitting the road. Lots and lots of pictures, laughs, and memories going down on this trip.
Today I met and got to talking to a homeless man selling necklaces instead of asking for money. I bought his most expensive piece (only $20) just so he could definitely have money for the day.
He allowed me to take his professional portrait for my project and we talked for half an hour about how to travel and where to travel. Inspiration is everywhere, if you just step outside of your comfort zone.
I'm grateful today.
