Sadly, HSW will no longer come into fruition (at least not anytime soon). MC and I are not working together anymore, thus the construction process has come to a disappointing halt. I am simply unable to fabricate this thing on my own, at least to the magnitude it would require. Hopefully one day, after I have refined my skills, I will be able to revisit this dream and take it on independently.
Even though I talked smack about it before, I think I will revert back to using good ol' panniers and a tent on my journey. The end result will be the same for the most part, just with a little less style and uniqueness.
The use of HSW would have put limitations on where I could ride and stay, how far I could go, and potentially kept me from getting overseas. Without it I can do much more, and perhaps even ditch my bike along the way if I feel like it. There will be a time and place for HSW, until then it will have to remain in my sketchbook.
Hi Carla,
ReplyDeleteYou have good ideas, but just go with the flow and get on the road.....
You only need yourself - two feet and a heartbeat!
The less gear to encumber you the better.
But just go it - don't give up and look for the next big thing.
I have met people 16 years on the road with only a small bag....you don't need much.
You go girl.....
