I'm almost there people, I recently left school in NC, I'm currently in Ohio and in july/august the latest i plan on taking a 4 day train ride to Arcata, CA .. it's been a little rough on me, you know, saying all my goodbyes to everyone and what not since i don't have any family or friends in CA but.. I'm not worried at all, I'm just really, really eager. keep in touch and feel free to share any advice you may have on making the adjustment as convenient as possible. Much love from your brother Tigerpaw. :hippy: peace
