Well people who want to know that, Tour HQ is my parents&#8217; home in Omaha, where I&#8217;ve been staying for the past couple of months as I prepare everything.<\/p>\n<div id=\"travelersmap-container-69e6ddf6b916b\" class=\"travelersmap-container\" style=\"z-index: 1; min-height: 10px; min-width:10px; height:600px;width:100%; max-width:; max-height:; position:relative;\"><div style=\"position:absolute; z-index:-1;top: 50%;text-align: center;display: block;left: 50%;transform: translate(-50%,-50%);\">Travelers' Map is loading... <br> If you see this after your page is loaded completely, leafletJS files are missing.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>But more about the Tour.  The initial plan for the Tour is a kind of clover-leaf pattern covering the US, based out of Tour HQ.  As a side note, why does a clover-leaf pattern have four leaves?<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/normalclover.png\" rel=\"shadowbox[album]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/normalclover.png\" alt=\"A normal clover.\" title=\"A normal clover.\" width=\"136\" height=\"131\" valign=\"middle\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-12\"><\/a> <span style=\"font-size:30pt; font-weight: bold;\">\u2260<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/cloverleaf.png\" rel=\"shadowbox[album]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zachbardon.com\/tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/cloverleaf-150x149.png\" alt=\"The so-called 'cloverleaf' pattern.\" title=\"The so-called 'cloverleaf' pattern.\" width=\"150\" height=\"149\" valign=\"middle\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-11\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Probably because it&#8217;s extra good luck.

My rule is: no -tels.<\/p>\n<p>I will certainly be taking advantage of the incredible hospitality of all sorts of great friends (known and previously unknown) as I travel.  It will also be a wonderful opportunity to use the excellent Couchsurfing service to find hosts as well as musicians to record.<\/p>\n<p>Failing all of that, I will sleep in a box.*  Alone.  And it will probably rain.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to host a responsible but awesome dude for a day or two this summer, <a href=\".\/?page_id=8\">hit me up<\/a>!
