the move
Last night at my grandmother's so the next leg of the trip is from near Boise to near Chico starting in about 5.5 hours from now. Lord, I can't sleep. I never can before a drive. The thing is that everyone in my family keeps telling me that I should go the Reno route, which is a way I abhor going. I can't stand the road between Winnemucka and Reno. Now, I love the Flying Pig, and it is tempting to go that way just for the BBQ, but it will add time to the trip and it is a way that I hate.
Hell, last time, I drove up I-5 and crossed the gorge just to not have to deal with Nevada. That added three hours to my trip. That is how much I don't want to go that way.
Now, this new way, I haven't been on before, so it is bound to be more interesting than the way that I have gone on average 3 times a year, round trip, for each year of my life. Bleh. Something new please!
PLUS, this route, according to all the sites that I have been to is not only faster, even only being able to do 55 in Oregon on the roads, but shorter distance. So why would I go the other way? with the load that I am carrying and the fact that I had to put a super hot spark plug in cylander 4 which decreases my gas milage, I don't want to be going much faster than 60 anyhow. So why not go the new way, eh?
As long as I can pull over and take naps if need be, and get gas regularly, and have something NOT salt flats to look at for hours on end, I think that I will be happy.
Plus, I get to FINALLY see my nephew!!!!!!!!
