If you fart and no one is around to smell it, is it still repulsively funny?

Traveling solo evokes a dueling combination of feelings: wildly nourished with freedom, yet thirsty for a companion. 

And though Leland is a great traveling partner, I sometimes wish I had someone in the passenger seat to comment on how off key my singing can be.  (How can I improve without criticism?)

I've been on a number of road trips with many different sidekicks: friends, family, boyfriends and strangers.  But this is the first solo road trip I've ever taken and it is opening me up to many different parts of the country and more of myself than I could have imagined.  The best part about my particular road trip is that I live in a festival world, where weekend to weekend, the vendors are my friends.  And each time, I meet and get to know people faster than I ever thought possible.  

For instance, Taos Solar Festival was sprinkled with even more Doloreans than just Kat and Chip.  This time around Chris, Nikki, Jennifer and Jerry joined in.  Chris gave me the best, most beneficial massage I've ever received.  Nikki made me feel joyous inside with her energy and smiles.  Jennifer was my trusty neighbor, whom I could chat with when it was slow (which was an entire day).  And Jerry was an intriguing trickster, who collects gadgets and one-liners.  Jerry saved our Saturday night with freshly squeezed Alaskan blueberry "Death Punch" (as he liked to call it), cilantro pine nut dip and a fresh shower for some very smelly vendors.

Two beautiful people I met that were not from Dolores were Kishna and Jon.  They live on the road in their RV with their cute dog Scooby.  Never have I ever met two people more in love with one another.  More on these wonderful people later, as we have set to meet again sometime this summer.
