To all those that think I'm only working hard, slaving away on the Subaru project with dad in my newfound, post college graduation freedom while I'm at home--I'm not. I'm also finding a little time for recreation, or in this case some powerkiting at the state park. My friend Alex and I hadn't gotten out there with our kites in a couple summers, but yesterday we decided to go again. I still only weigh just a little under 300 lbs, and this is how much it was tossing me around. Wind is powerful.
Also, I'm heading out on my cycling trip from Chicago to the east coast next week. Prayers are appreciated, as are Tour dé France style roadside concession stands set up ever forty kilometers or so. If you all take shifts, I think we can have evenly distributed stands all the way from Wheaton to Newark. Anyway, I'll be posted a picture or something everyday to keep everyone in the loop and let them know I haven't eaten poison berries or went crazy.

Huh. Olivia and I flew a kite the other day, but we must have been doing it wrong because it didn't even lift us an inch off the ground.
Pretty impressive, Daniel. I was half expecting the kite to lift off and drag you down to Pere Marquette.
That looks like a lot of fun, Daniel. Why don't you take that along on your bike trip and hook it up whenever your legs start to feel tired?
We saw some guys using these on Lake Superior last year with wet suits and surf boards. It looked like a blast, especially when they were 15 feet in the air. I think the wind was 30+ mph that day.
Looking forward to your bike trip posts!
