Illustrative GRAPHIC

This post was drafted prior to departure

How can this journey be both fun and also raise money for an incredible organization like Apprentice Learning?

Diagrams are the last refuge of the bikepacker.  

Below shows a very exact illustration of how this whole adventure works!  Tim bikes thru Grizzly Highways, wildfires and smoke, drought and heat (as well as through and over incredible natural beauty of glaciated mountains, icy green lakes, lush forests, spectacular high deserts and sandstone canyons) to have a blast but hopefully to generate your interest in supporting Apprentice Learning: no amount of support is too small. 

To those who have already contributed, thank you: you can feel confident that your generosity will go far to support Boston middle-school students. To those who have not, thanks for your consideration: any amount is warmly appreciated

This will be the last weird diagram on my blog (I acknowledge the video game influence here, although my last video game was Pong). But maybe not the last appeal!
