The ones that love me cannot come with me.  For where I am going, I am not sure.  I know where my goal lies, but for me, this goal is only the beginning.  The only thing I will be taking with me after I reach this goal, is them.

To put it more simply, this trail of dirt, rock and soil will be the key I need to unlock the future.  There are a lot of people that use this trail in such this manner.

With only 2 more days until I set off from Campo, the realization is setting in.  No longer a thought on paper, I am now facing the reality of solitude, hardship, and discovery.  I will miss my wife and children, but I pray that these weeks will let me attain the time required to seek out the answers to my questions.
