>>1089283By "never coming back" I do mean going on a loosely open-ended tour/adventure. The most I've camped is just shy of two weeks at a time, but it's not hard for me to live that way.
I have a general idea of riding up to Redding, CA, staying with some extended family for a week or so and working for my Uncle's landscaping company for some extra money. Then I could potentially head up north or south along the coast, at that point I could see how I feel about heading back home, or pointing myself down south.
I have nothing holding me down here other than a dying cat, a lease that expires in a month, and a depressing temp job. So I figure I might as well do the few things I actually enjoy, at least for a while. I just hope I'm not romanticising the idea of a long tour, I've been reading and watching a lot of negatives about it, but I'm still not discouraged.
