30 May.<\/p>\n

It’s here. Months of planning are over, the rig is packed, and whatever is forgotten will stay forgotten. The house is so clean that I asked Patrice if we were planning on selling it. Now the house is in the rear-view mirror, as we embarked on our 10,000 mile odyssey.<\/p>\n

It was a gorgeous day for a drive, and beautiful country to drive through. The Smokies of Tennessee, the Appalachians of southern Kentucky, and the plains of southern Indiana.<\/p>\n

Another late start, but better today than yesterday. Only 90 minutes late, instead of 3 hours. A cold front came through during the night, and we left Columbus in a cold gray drizzle. Patrice drew the first shift, which gave me the stint through Gary and Chicago. I drew the short straw; 3.5 hours and 140 mile. I definitely do NOT want to come back this way.<\/p>\n
