Dear Friends and Family, Well, it's about 1pm here in Riddle, Oregon, and I'm about ready to leave. I finished my immunizations this morning and checked my checklist one more time as I packed my pack. From here on out, I've got nothing except what's in there.
The wedding went well, and my sister is now Mrs.
Karl Thompson. It hasn't really hit me yet, and I
suppose it might not ever. There wasn't much crying
at all, even from my mother
I am very happy for the new couple, and I think they
will do well. After his little trial of the night
before, I'm sure Karl is a really great guy, and I'm
glad to have him as a brother.
With all the hubub around here I didn't make much
progress on my French, although I have a little bit
better grasp of pronunciation and the most basic
phrases. I did manage to do quite a bit of hiking
with my loaded pack, which is probably up to 35 lbs.
It's actually quite comfortable.
It's kind of hard to leave. I'm planning to
hitchhike to Fresno, and since I'm getting a late
start it may be Riddle to Sacramento to Fresno. I
hope it goes well. I've only hitchhiked a few times
before.
I hope to write again before leaving Fresno, and
since the wedding I'm attending there is on the 23rd,
that's probably when I'll be flying.
Au revoir
-Dustin
