Atlanta to Lincoln
As I did last year and never thought I'd do again this year, I am chronicling our journey across America. This time is very, very different. We're in one car sharing the driving. We are driving through the middle of the country and as I said before, we are not insanely desperate or in a rush.
Yesterday, we left the A at 6:37am and arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska at 9:17pm. Now that's all Eastern time but yep, we did it in 15 1/2 hours. Go us! I did the morning shift since JC can barely remember his name that early in the morning. He slept about three hours and then kept me going for the next four that I drove. He brought us in. Along the way, which was mostly in Missouri, state of my birth, we listened to This American Life, sang, played 'Six Degrees of Forrest Whitaker' and 'Who Am I?' It was a good trip.
Didn't spend much on gas or food (total food bill for the day was $27). Tomorrow we'll try to get to Salt Lake City and then pull it on into the Couv. W00 H00!
All prayer, good wishes, thoughts, juju are appreciated for our trip. We'll see ya soon...unless you don't live in the Portland metro area. Sorry.
**Fun part of the day: Watching a bull mount a cow. Ouch.
