My time in Jackson is done for now. I leave tomorrow morning for a straight shot drive to San Francisco that will hopefully take less than 15 hours. Thank God for cruise control!
With today being my last day in town, I made it special by waking up at 4:45 am and watching the sunrise from the top of Mount Glory. After a 75-minute hike up "Glory", I was reveling in the morning time beauty of this area. It was great motivation to look back and think of how amazing the past five-months have been for me. I feel fortunate that I had and took advantage of this opportunity because it will be one of my greatest accomplishments.
While living here, I've learned alot about myself and the surrounding area and its culture. One particular interesting tidbit is the origin of the word "dude". It was used by cowboys and ranchers to describe city folk that vacationed with them on their land. The cowboys and ranchers found it entertaining to see these relatively well-dressed people participating in the same activities as themselves.
I'll be sure to have alot to write about in the near future. For right now, I'm exhausted from packing my apartment and being on an endless run of errands and work assignments in the past few days. Wish me luck on my drive home.

I enjoyed all your postings throughout your adventure. I'm glad you sent the email to check the last few because I hadn't seen any for awhile, and I didn't check this past weekend, so it was fun reading these Monday morning to start my week. I'll see you back in SF!
