I was recently convinced to leave my job as a genuine farmhand on an organic farm to join this team of rag-tag funhounds on their epic motorcycle and RV adventure as the official driver of the RV for two weeks. Having never driven anything larger than a 15-passenger van with one very expensive kayak on the roof rack, and a Ford F150 pick-up with a 12-foot trailer filled with farmer’s market produce, I’m facing the next 15 days of winding roads and killer views with boundless excitement tempered with a slight hint of trepidation. I hear Pete is a stellar teacher, though, so the wee hours of the morning tooling around the Canadian Tire parking lot in North Bay should be ample time to acclimatize me to this luxury home on wheels. Right?
A graphic designer by trade, I worked with Mike on the promotional materials for the Road Trip. I’ve also known him since 9th grade math class, and have worked with him and Pete on various projects over the years. I’m very excited to be out from behind the computer and on the frontlines of this adventure.
Apparently my code name is Torquemada, but I’m not really sure what this means.
