Although I rode most days alone, I sincerely could not have completed this trip without the support of all of you (this includes a loving push by my dad on more than one challenging mental day --> thank you, dad)...<br /><br />Second, the posts for 7/5 and 7/6 are quick + temporary as my time is limited at the moment. More photos and better stories of each day coming soon...<br /><br />I have made it to Gillette, Wyoming and am now with family (so nice to be with them!) to enjoy a few weeks together.<br /><br />As you may imagine, it is all but impossible to 'bottle it all up' in one quick post, or even a ten page written summary. As I formulate how to continue packaging the experience to share, I hope you have enjoyed journeying with me through photos, and have learned about the diverse range of FLW's architectural abilities, as well as the incredible land we are so blessed to have in the United States of America.<br /><br />I send a big hug / high-five / chest butt / or any other measure you wish to use to end one phase of a journey like this. More than anything, I send my gratitude and enthusiasm about living each day to its fullest...<br /><br />Love and peace (until soon),<br /><br />Mikemherpyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14207304678707459267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963358056349524007.post-37425648505076618382011-07-07T04:32:00.000-07:002011-08-07T15:55:47.488-07:007/6 - Day 33<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUfD9YXi78KSpe6Bvv-qS72xSwiNsDql1KAEo5ZKv1HxS5giAKJ7MWNgoaD_jEzXKTHWqCHWDCvFoD3zCx6jdLYdJI1dJmW86YFAT-zCmlftkNtJ5IpjllYgPcLMcl1v2Iqx2TnDQEzCni/s1600/july6_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUfD9YXi78KSpe6Bvv-qS72xSwiNsDql1KAEo5ZKv1HxS5giAKJ7MWNgoaD_jEzXKTHWqCHWDCvFoD3zCx6jdLYdJI1dJmW86YFAT-zCmlftkNtJ5IpjllYgPcLMcl1v2Iqx2TnDQEzCni/s400/july6_1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sunrise.

Heading west out of Faith, SD, there are 75 miles before reaching another town with any type of service station (Newell, SD). I was glad to have waited until the morning to begin this leg of the trip, as my morning mind tends to be most strong (and my legs appreciated the rest I allowed them the day before). I don't pretend to be someone heroic for crossing this stretch, but I can say that it was a real mental challenge for me. Perhaps I let all the remarks about how there is 'literally nothing' by many locals intimidate me a bit too much, but I was ready for it.

Thank you so much Angie!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijmI6njq5tw0HwGFjMOBuyWZQqPWt3Q3_s_tz0JFA5kDM9nyV0u-QZ3Jqug99SDIwRf_kx8YNGhE-Fpa8IdAPBL2L8kk6gZMSwIJDZspG-mEnwt1UK9tQUrBCGa5K6A3nP_f5P97KRwPfg/s1600/june30_27.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijmI6njq5tw0HwGFjMOBuyWZQqPWt3Q3_s_tz0JFA5kDM9nyV0u-QZ3Jqug99SDIwRf_kx8YNGhE-Fpa8IdAPBL2L8kk6gZMSwIJDZspG-mEnwt1UK9tQUrBCGa5K6A3nP_f5P97KRwPfg/s400/june30_27.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The evening at Dan + Angie's consisted of loads of good conversation. Pictured here are (left to right) Rosanne (housemate), Angie (Dan's wife), and Jeremy (soon-to-be housemate). Rosanne had actually spent some time in Xela, Guatemala; and all three are heavily involved in a fantastic project called the <a href="http://thefallout.ning.com/">'Fallout Creative Community'</a>, a non-profit which advocates the use of arts in all forms and in a wide range of capacities. For me the highlight of the night's conversation (hard to pick) was a comment made by Jeremy regarding creative force/potential, wherein he described each person as having a creative potential to share, and related that the Fallout's goal is to 'tease that out' of people. Keep up the great work guys! </div>mherpyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14207304678707459267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963358056349524007.post-81361032671580319062011-06-29T19:43:00.000-07:002011-08-07T15:55:47.489-07:006/29 - Day 26<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BJHTcGXN2fDKveYzVuxHcGNMOHGEFvtCTL2ZcUF8Feqh4BeY2aGAdz6TtE52g422fkE-jr8SHyHMRWU07vrvVJKSL5vpx6NiX15wdISOlRP-BBRdxhXb-7SROLGdo7kZ5v9ZUk4O_oIL/s1600/june29_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1BJHTcGXN2fDKveYzVuxHcGNMOHGEFvtCTL2ZcUF8Feqh4BeY2aGAdz6TtE52g422fkE-jr8SHyHMRWU07vrvVJKSL5vpx6NiX15wdISOlRP-BBRdxhXb-7SROLGdo7kZ5v9ZUk4O_oIL/s400/june29_1.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As beautifully as the sun sets (see 6/28 post), it rises.

The Atomic staff gladly obliged and served up the powerfully tasty <a href="http://www.surlybrewing.com/beer/year-round-beers.html">Surly Furious</a>.

This, coupled with an unexpected 'Dead End', changed the day's course, needless to say. I made way quickly for some paved roads to gain speed/time, but North Dakota isn't exactly a highly paved state, so routes aren't quite as direct as in other states. After finding a paved (and non-freeway) route, I began the detour, right into 17 miles of headwinds. This meant having to face shorter mileage for the day. The positive is that these challenges truly make one stronger.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMATsFIKlZfZTVGXV7wMsLAGi6BqCP1y-P_lXNl46M2waVN45D9_XkHkl8UwpmLg5u0xUgkJo1zxh5S7uKqRmDI5rfkO8IAjWxR5K1j_StPky3CBJ7kr0SbJQCQDwx2TCEPC22sFB5ipMl/s1600/june28_13.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMATsFIKlZfZTVGXV7wMsLAGi6BqCP1y-P_lXNl46M2waVN45D9_XkHkl8UwpmLg5u0xUgkJo1zxh5S7uKqRmDI5rfkO8IAjWxR5K1j_StPky3CBJ7kr0SbJQCQDwx2TCEPC22sFB5ipMl/s400/june28_13.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Red, White, and Blue.

Turns out I would ride another 90 miles before spotting this bunch! Quite rare indeed... According to this <a href="http://www.50states.com/flower/minnesota.htm">link</a>, these flowers sometimes take up to 16 years to bloom for the first time.

Heavy stone masses produce a visual anchor, attesting to its geological history, while smooth floor-to-ceiling glass reflects the river and surrounding natural elements, folding these areas into and around the stone, creating an 'island effect' of sorts in which the stone masses become 'lived in' ruins (a chronological oxymoron).

Austin, Minnesota. As viewed from street. One of the most brilliant architectural features of the house is the primary projecting eave (to right, see below). In my opinion, the brilliance is not so much that the roof line has long projections (though I do think this interesting in terms of a 'roof folding into earth' idea, part of a longer elaboration). Rather, the means of producing the effect interest me. Observe the step-back of windows (the corner glass just left of the right stone pier), which amplifies the effect by pulling back the masonry from the overhang. A subtle gesture with profound visual effect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc9-VAw83P0LVvZhNWgrAdA5fMfItn8yXsh8GDeyXgx2n2fYa8q3rXGxtRt3kAqf9PtYMcBPyxoK_qiU7zcjTmugLzImT-61okUl-fTjZhJdOg_gaykoaxuvMQhHuTHdk7XGT7v1jCteEi/s1600/june21_18.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc9-VAw83P0LVvZhNWgrAdA5fMfItn8yXsh8GDeyXgx2n2fYa8q3rXGxtRt3kAqf9PtYMcBPyxoK_qiU7zcjTmugLzImT-61okUl-fTjZhJdOg_gaykoaxuvMQhHuTHdk7XGT7v1jCteEi/s400/june21_18.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Detail, primary projecting eave.

Jacobs House preceded city's zoning codes, which contributed to the achievement of the $5500 budget (per John Sergeant) since it allowed the house to be close to the street, eliminating the need for a long driveway (and extensive concrete / site work). What is also interesting is that Wright worked with Herbert Jacobs on the site selection, encouraging him to buy two lots. Originally Mr. Jacobs purchased one lot to either side of Toepfer street, but Wright had him purchase two adjoining lots (current site), which would give a 120' x 120' site dimension (versus 60'w x 120'd typical lot) and thus better allow Wright to position the house for capitalizing on passive solar strategies (opening to east for morning sun heat gain while shading to west to mitigate excessive gain).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2sWFjBdUGepUaByKbWRIoBRo05h_SS4K-_qInlQnQNI9XfroCdLolZ8H6q8odNzJiTPj5UJ3mQCww8hWLm2Vu9QjHad66fQCDMcttbFk2ZX7aYVlWbzHKZUJnDN-NH8E-JcqOiAwH8Q8F/s1600/june17_19.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2sWFjBdUGepUaByKbWRIoBRo05h_SS4K-_qInlQnQNI9XfroCdLolZ8H6q8odNzJiTPj5UJ3mQCww8hWLm2Vu9QjHad66fQCDMcttbFk2ZX7aYVlWbzHKZUJnDN-NH8E-JcqOiAwH8Q8F/s400/june17_19.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Rudin House.
