Old Sean Thoughts
“During my early adventures, all my journeys were national. My father gifted me a stellar, rugged and wildly fuel-inefficient silver F150. The truck was a heap of horsepower and mass, a mere five steal plates away from being legally registered as a tank.
I loved it.
From sixteen onward, I would pile into this truck and take outlandish road trips to inappropriate destinations everywhere in driving distance. I flung myself around the Midwest, down to the Mexican boarder, through the Ozarks, out near Taos, and into Oklahoman casinos. Convinced of my own bravery, I fugitively edged my way into these casinos. I would toss away three or four dollars on slot machines, security uncaring that I was underage as long as I continually lost.
Naturally, with a hulking truck at my side, I overpacked for everything. The bed of the vehicle was a mobile campsite and a silver lockbox held everything from a jump rope to a hammock to a manchette.
Now, more than a decade later, I’ve shifted my modus operandi somewhat. I carry a single backpack from nation to nation, continent to continent. The transition between the two was a trial. But now, I can do more than drive across a land in a hulking vehicle.
Now, I’m given freedom anywhere a human might stand.
Best regards and excellent trails,”
