Most of my journal entries are expenses or locations. 94024 on speedometer, gas $1.138/gal. $551 in bankroll, I won't be living high on the hog. I have a cooler but I realized before I left it will be too much trouble and expense to use ice so it will just be for storage. My basic menu is cereal with powdered milk in the morning, penut butter with jelly and butter sandwich for lunch and again for dinner. My warm meal when I had it was generally a cup of coffee. I had a sterno but Il think I only used it once to test it and figured it was too much trouble. Also I carried apple jucie which took a few days before it would go bad and generic beer warm in the yellow boxes with the black label. This beer was great and better than most nationally advertised beers, especially diet beer (lite?) which I won't drink any more than I would drink diet soda. And one of the stupidest thinks foisted on the American public is the idea that it is less filling-Einstein would have to change his theory of matter if it was. My water source for everthing was a five gallon plastic container. Many of the paintings are available through my art website http://home.earthlink.net/~greenvanartusa/index.html I also joined the following site and I will be uploading my trip photos which will be available as prints, if you are interested, and if there is one you like and I haven't uploaded it yet let me know and I will. http://artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=42727 also now on red bubble here http://www.redbubble.com/people/greenvanartusa
