ready to hit da road

gardens-tilled-upwe have had so much moisture this spring that the ground was saturated. i have been waiting for it to dry out somewhat so i can get it tilled up and ready to plant. the weather forecast said it may rain again several days next week, that would put off tilling anutha week.  so  i checked it out today and it was tillable, though in some spots still wet. i tilled both plots. i went thru the plot that is new ground 3 times. it had roots from bushes that had to be broken up. that ground should really produce this year. my garden is all ready to plant. i will do that after i get home from the gathering of nations pow wow. i didnt want to leave until the garden was ready. now i can pow wow. the lady at the greenhouse where i buy my plants and seeds said to wait to plant. so i am ready for the road.

i will pack tonite and leave in the morning. dont know what route i will take. i like to take different routes to see new things. so far i have seen the worlds largest hand dug well, the worlds largest ball of twine, dodge citys boot hill, the pueblo ruins in kansas and many small state parks. i dont like to drive straight thru to anywhere. i like to stop and see the tourist traps.

i will stop at a hot springs though. i have to do that every chance i get. i really enjoy soaking in them. they give me relief from back pain. it is so relaxing. they have alot of them in colorado. i have been to a few of them and like to check out new ones when i can.

i am planning on just catching one day of the pow wow, that will be friday. i have prepaid for a day by going online. i dont have stand in line, just go to the will call window. usually one day of pow wow is enuff. i will take some pictures and do some taping with my camcorder. i go hit the bit flea market on saturday. they have a big one. some of the vendors from the gathering set up there. and i always look for the fresh oven baked bread. it never makes it home.

other than that i dont know what else i will do. but i probably will do a few other things. never know what comes up. i cant wait. i am up for a road trip.
