The Final Countdown

After spending a damp afternoon at Boston Calling which has left me with a pretty nasty sniffle, I was finally able to load the bike up and head home to CT. Now I just have to tie up a few last loose ends and do my best not to get sidetracked watching the entire new season of Arrested Development on Netflix. Thirty six hours to go...in the meantime, enjoy some detailed pictures along with my gear list for the trip.
