Vacate?

No matter where you go, there you are.

The trip is not far enough to ge my mind from me....

I've never been anywhere...no extreme adventures of that kind for me, and, as anyone who knows me will assert, I am definitely a people-motivated person...if I don't have people contact, I wilt. All of that being the case, however, I have to agree with her. It isn't the pushing on to Alaska that is the point. Indeed, what with the conditions, I suspect it may be the wiser choice *not* to push on but (and it's the biggest but I have ;-) I would still argue that staying out is a good idea, given the initial rationale for the trip, and given how time - and solitude - tend to help clear the brain.

The decision of course must be the one [livejournal.com profile] learnteach chooses for himself. I think that what both she, and I, and near as I can tell, practically everyone else, are suggesting is that he re-think the trip, and vary it to meet his needs (especially for interesting scenery and safer riding conditions!), rather than just discarding it altogether.

Yes! And don't forget the sunscreen!

Adventures come to you

I find that rather humorous in truth...you've had more adventure than most, just not quite as National Geographic.

Hence the disclaimer "of that sort" :) I could do with more of the National Geographic type, and somewhat fewer of the others....

Quite a tempest in a teapot you've got brewing here, eh? :):):)
