Title: Where is Ian Shearin?
Post by: in4 on September 10, 2013, 01:34:07 PM: Curiosity got the better of me so I did a quick search to see where Ian was and if he was having a good time.
You might want to click on a few links in his Twitter feed. https://twitter.com/IanShearin

Best,

Dan.

I've had to resist that impulse a few times myself, jags.

'Next time I go with someone, I'll ride for the companionship but take enough of my own stuff to break off and go solo if things turn sour. Not a bad backup plan! Might be something for you to consider as well on future trips.

Best,

Dan. (...who very much wants a touring partner, but has had uneven experiences to date)
(...and who is very much looking for'd to Matt's upcoming Adventures!)
