New Territories

This probably is not the most interesting blog entry, but because I started it off with this sentence, you will read through it anyway.

This entry his been written as I sit outside along the Klondike Highway connecting South East Alaska with the rest of the outside world. I am waiting to play crossing guard for 8 people on trail horses, while the rest are paddling canoes. I am watching the locals buy off-sale alcohol at Spirit Lake Wilderness Resort because the grocery store lost their license to sell alcohol due to an ownership change. A salmon salad sandwich awaits me inside.

I love to travel. I have yet to expand my horizons to a new continent, but someday I will. For now, I have to explore my own country. It's obvious that I am a simple minded fellow, thus I find comfort in my wonderful union of states. I am going to make a list my 2010 state destinations and I expect anyone who reads this to hold me to accomplishing this goal.

Tennessee
(Because you're the only 10 I see)

Hawaii
(Just to say I've been)

New Mexico
(Something, or someone, is enchanting about this state)

All different in geography, culture, and scenery. That's what I love about the US. How many countries are there in the world that are smaller than states in the US? I don't know, but I am sure there are several, meaning that citizens of those countries don't have the opportunities to experience different territories with the luxury of staying in their own country.
