I’m setting the intention that I WILL return to Seattle in August to take part in the Superfine Art Fair! I’m in the fair, I’m super ready for a fine road trip.
Will the fair happen? Will gatherings of “more than X” be allowed? Fingers crossed!

I have scads of road photos to process!
And yes, I have a road trip blog!

As a few of you know, I like to do solo road trips.
I LIKE being by myself.
West Texas is one of the more lonely corners of the US, and I find it consistently inspiring.
