Read the past summer's conversation as this radio/web project proceeded on upriver, over mountains and into the ocean at Transom.org: a public radio showcase and workshop. (Alternately, you can download it in its entirety [ 0.3mb PDF ].)

Summer 2001

en route... more air! ...and hope that I can go back to the difficult pleasure of biking for four to eight hours a day...I realise now that my desire to get back quickly was predicated on entirely spurious reasoning: I thought I had something to come back to. and that, sad to say, just didn't turn out to be the case. dammit, compared to almost all of the rest of the summer, even the worst days of riding in june were a sheer delight. and I bloody well want that back. the days had a phenomenal simplicity and complexity. but, it was always motion, always seeing the west touch us, just as we touched it... responsive travel -- none of this "leave no trace" bullshit. the land affected us and we were witness to its effects. and that, my friend, was amazing.
