Au Revoir Mammoth!

After an amazing 2 months its time to keep cruisin'. The Woolley Mammoth has been an incredible place to live, a graceful blend of people, personalities, ideas, music, and art! 
As I pack my bags for the next leg of my journey I weed out unnecessary items and place them in a cardboard box. By the time I'm done fitting everything I own into three bags (a small suitcase, a backpack, and a daypack) I have a full box of these "unnecessaries". This box and my old, much larger suitcase are going to live here at the Mammoth. Like so many previous residents of the Mammoth, I am following suit: leave something behind with the intention of coming back for it. Maybe its because its so hard to say goodbye to this place, or maybe its because everybody who comes through here is on some similar journey and needs to lighten their load, or maybe its because this place is so damn big that things just accumulate here. Who knows, but my intention is to come back for it, there is way too much to do here that I didn't have the ability to do without a vehicle. So maybe, after trekking around for a while, I can come back and re-open this chapter and my box full of "unnecessaries".  
Packed and ready to go!
