It's been a while since I've been around these parts but I'm finally off on another journey for a few months... All is explained in a short blog post here: http://www.uninspiredramblings.com/and- ... ins-again/ (plus some way overdue photos from the Colorado Trail, ome of which are below...)
Hoping to get back to updating the blog more regularly throughout this trip...
Loved the bit about the bear encounter; less appealing was the whole grumpy aggressive dog situation! Maybe a bikepacking Taser gun is required, rechargeable by Dynamo, of course... Although a sawn-off shotgun would be more effective against a pack of wild muts!
