Jay is a crazy funny guy - kind of a dry sense of humor. Has had some bad luck on the trip with bike pumps and towels - lost them the second day :( He is an artist and has been sketching along the way ---- when we stopped in a town called Mitchell, he was sitting on the front porch of a cafe with two old men - shooting the breeze and sketching them at the same time -- it was classic. He is also a hiking enthusiast.
