Sorry for the lack of post-age, y'all! (Not to be confused with lack of postage, though I am running low on stamps).

Can't write much now as it is after 9 (waaaay past my bed time) and I have a coherency level of zero.

In brief: 4:30 wake-ups, 100 mile days, incessant sun, chafe-age like you would NOT believe (aren't you glad I shared?), gorgeous gorgeous America (Arkansas and Oklahoma are awesome and you should all visit), raddest people on Earth, scarily generous hosts, and yes, a certain Dickensian gentleman who is totally rocking my world.

Love and hugs to all, I WILL update in earnest as soon as I can!
