It's eight months away,
maybe seven,
maybe nine.
It's far enough away to plan it all out.
Plenty of time to get ready.
I'm not scared. Me? No way.
You can do this.
Of course I can. This is gonna be awesome.
...but what if something happens to Pilot?
Nothing's gonna happen to Pilot.
Well what if something happens to me? What will become of Pilot if my body is ravaged by rogue bears and wild mountain men while changing a flat on the side of the Cassiar Highway?
Jeeeezus, calm down. You want to do this, remember? You've wanted to do this since you were seventeen. That's a long time. Decades.
It's a stupid idea and you don't know what you're talking about and stop dropping hints about my age.
I hate nature.
I hate adventure.
I hate hiking.
I hate camping.
I hate solitude.
I hate road trips and I've never wanted to drive to Alaska and whoever told you I did was a liar.
Why would I want to spend a month on the road doing any of these things??
Booooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
You live for this shit and you know it.
Lies!
I just want to live in a box for the rest of my life eating cheezits and watching prime and pretending I'm safe.
All that driving would just give me hemorrhoids, anyway.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge, held daily in the Black and White Community.
Give it a try.
It's also a @coloneljethro #fridayfreewrite.
P.S. If you've ever driven to Alaska and have recommendations of neat places to stop, camp, etc., please drop me a comment. 🙂

All the stuff (pictures, words, etc.) I put in this post and any of my other posts is mine (unless otherwise stated) and can't be used by anyone else unless the grizzlies and I say it's ok.
Alaska? Fuck yeah, I've wanted to go there for decades as well. I hate the cold so I've always held off planning anything there though. I was cold in Colorado in the July so I can't imagine there's a time of year I wouldn't be cold in Alaska...
Love that shot of Pilot.
Lol, I'm pretty sure you're more likely to die while attempting to play it safe than you are from bears and such. Have you been on that long of a road trip before?
I'm not sure how cold it will be when I go, considering the sun is hardly going to go down. But I feel like camping is always cold. I like the romantic idea of going around the solstice so I can have that eternal daylight experience, but being a night owl I wonder if that will drive me insane..? (Like I'm not already.)
The longest road trips I've been on were about two weeks, but included lots of stopping at national parks and such, and I had people with me. This is gonna be an entirely different animal.
Thanks for the boost!!
