DAY 32 KANAB TO FLAGSTAFF

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey

Pat Conroy

Yes we are in Flagstaff, yes we got here early, yes we could just ride home but we aren't.

We need this night to recap, reminisce, raise a glass, and mentally prepare to be home. My wife will tell you the quote above fits. I will be home tomorrow but my mind will take a long time to catch up.

I never wanted to be
A man of mystery
My life's an open book
by James Joyce and Agatha Christie

Sometimes I get confused
Somewhere around page two
I live the perfect crime
And crime pays more than it used to

They're checkin' the evidence
May be come charges pressed
The only one they got me on
is some misdemeanor craziness

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down
If they solve my life if they find me out
Never thought to keep all I have found
I have had my fun If It All Falls Down
Jimmy Buffett

I've definitly had my fun, don't want it to end but if it does I've had my fun.Another couple of hours tomorrow and this gets filed in the memory bank.

Thanks for the quotes, Chuck! I can identify, especially with the first. Ending such a ride is bittersweet and never really leaves you...
