My stove is a little teeny camper stove, but it doesn't run on gas. It's a little teeny wood stove, about 6 inches in diameter. It has a little motor with a fan attached. You get the fire started and turn on the fan and it works like a blow torch kind of, to make it hotter, faster. I'll read a page and burn a page.
People pick up sticks and pine cones . . .
The closer you get, the more unreal it seems. But I don't want to stay home, I want to do it. I know that I might not make it the whole way. Half the people have dropped out by the quarter-way part. So I want to say to myself, I'm at least going to make it to the quarter, about 500 miles.
