The traveling continues....
I took the zephyr to Chicago, rode a bike to Milwaukee, visited friends. Took the bus to Duluth, rode the bike up the north shore of Lake Superior to Grand Marais where I used to work at the North House Folk School. Great place even though it seems to becoming more and more like a business than a movement. Secretly revolutionary. I stayed there for 2 weeks, working on some boat maintenance projects, sailing, hiking, eating, sleeping in boats and yurts. Great people.
I found a ride to the Twin Cities, caught a bus back to Milwaukee for another couple days, and back to Chicago soon to catch my train to North Carolina. I'll be home on Oct. 2nd....it's been a long time.
I'm excited about being home. I'm hoping to start focusing my attention to farming and music. My grandparents have a farm property now surrounded by Charlotte suburbia, perfect place to get good at the craft. I'm thinking of starting a business converting peoples lawns into mini-farms.
