Windy in Washington

[skyring]

I'm going to have to be fairly concise in my LJ. My Washington journal will tell the story with pictures. I'll put a few of the panoramas in my gallery - Perhaps I should have taken more photographs, but if I took photos of everything I saw, I'd be out of room on my camera in a heartbeat!

When you have a minute, please let me know how you do your journal/how you handle it. It's an interesting idea which I might borrow (if you don't object).

OK, the actual physical journal is a notebook with a fairly stout plastic cover that snaps shut and a spiral binding to hold the pages. I want something that can stand up to reasonably rough treatment and that I can write in and paste stuff into. I also don't want something big, because it is going to be carried around a lot.

I use the right hand side of each leaf for writing, both my own entries and those of others, and the left hand side for pasting stuff in - ticket stubs, postcards, dockets, whatever.

I then register the book, put in a bookplate and I make more extensive entries in the online journal, along with digital photographs. Many of these are shared with the books I release along the way, and I'll typically put down the two books side by side, take a photograph, pick up the journal and walk away. So the one photograph goes in two journal entries and I can make a note in the entry for the released book about the journal containing the complete story.

Thank you! It sounds like a lot of fun. :-)

Thanks for this - I might well do that sometime - not 100% sure I will be riding to Texas this time, but I should be riding up to Idaho, at least. :-)
