Epilog
| I was confused and frustrated that biking wasn't bringing me the joys and highs that I had expected. Instead of exhilirations of adventure, I found mostly clockworks of routine. I did have fun during this trip - but did not feel anywhere close to the high expectations I have had come to expect of my biking trips. The drive back from Missoula, through Salt Lake City, back to L.A. was mostly routine. After arriving in L.A., I went into plan B, trying to plan another trip that takes up some of the chunk of time I had before my engagement in Taiwan and my work start date in mid October. As it turned out, I would eventually end up taking a surpringly rewarding 2 1/2 week trip to China. In retrospect, this trip, despite the title of my web pages, is not a complete failure. I just didn't understand my situation and myself well enough.... I failed to realize that at this point in my life, having graduated law school and now looking to start my second career, the season has turned yet again. Instead discovering myself in the back country roads of say the national parks or Montana or Wyoming, it is more meaningful to try to rediscover my roots in my heritage. Biking the Pacific Coast was the right thing for me as I started my law school career. Expanding my horizons by visiting China is more appropriate at this stage in my life. This realization is but a smaller lesson though... A bigger question now that I am done with school - what am I looking for in life? |

Songs
I estimate that I composed some 9-12 songs over the trip. However, since I didn't write any down, I don't remember any of it. As a second best, I have composed 3 songs in commemoration of this trip...
