Tuesday Morning, We’re Coming Off This Mountain

If the Lord permits, the creek don’t rise, the rain stays out of our dirt, and these mountain roads don’t decide to turn into soup, we’re firing up the RV and coming off Peace Mountain. There’s only one little problem. We can’t leave the way we came in. The monsoons took care of that. Part of the road we used to get up here washed away, and we love an adventure, but we’re not driving an RV across a place where the road used to be. So we’re taking the other way out. It’s longer. It has steeper grades. It’s going to make for one heck of a ride coming down off this mountain. But, it has one mighty important thing going for it. The whole road is still there. And Then We Point Toward the Redwoods Once we get off this mountain, we’re going to start wandering our way toward Crescent City, California, and those giant Redwoods. That’s our destination for now. But this trip is about more than getting from one place to another. This is a book-signing tour. We want to meet the people who have supported us, bought our books, read our stories, shared them, reviewed them, and helped carry this whole adventure farther than Breezie and I ever could have imagined. Now we want to give a little something back. We want to shake your hand, sign your book, take a picture together, share a few laughs, and finally put a real face to some of the names we’ve been seeing for years. That is going to mean a lot to us. Watch This Website Over the next day or two, we’re going to post our route right here on the website. We are NOT posting the route on Facebook. So if you want to know where we’re going, what towns we’ll be passing through, and whether we might be coming anywhere near you, keep checking back here. Look at the route when we post it. If you see your town, or someplace close enough to come meet us, let us know. And if you have one of our books, bring it with you. I’d be honored to sign it. We’ll take some pictures together, share a little piece of the journey, and hopefully leave with a few more memories than we started with. Because the people who support our books are not just numbers on a sales page. You’re real people. And this book-signing tour is our chance to meet some of you face-to-face. Tuesday morning, the jacks come up, the engine starts, and another chapter begins. And there’s something pretty powerful about the fact that the road we planned on taking is gone. Because life does that. Sometimes the road you thought you were going to travel simply isn’t there anymore. You can sit there staring at where it used to be, or you can turn around, find another road, and keep moving. The other road might be longer. It might be steeper. It might scare you a little. But it can still take you someplace beautiful. Redwoods, here we come. And somewhere between this mountain and those giant trees, we’re hoping to shake a whole lot of hands, sign a whole lot of books, and finally meet some of the people who helped make this journey possible. Keep checking back. The book-signing route is coming next.
