The car is packed, the apartment is empty, the loose ends are tied, and I'm ready to hit the road. I'm gonna do a short day and try to make it a little past Salt Lake City tonight. Then I have no plan until Sunday, when I'm going to stop at my dad's house in Portville, NY. Then I should be back in Burlington on Monday. I'll be taking route 80 most of the way, which I heard is a riveting drive through the majestic expanses of Nebraska (). 5 days, 2,600 (+/-) miles, 40 hours of driving.
Things that can go wrong:
* Speeding Ticket (not likely since my car is so weighed down I'll be lucky to do the speed limit)
* Animal Encounter (scares the shit out of me)
* Car Break-in (I really really really really don't want all my stuff stolen. It has happened to me once before, so I'm nervous)
* Car Breakdown (car has less than 10,000 miles, so it should be rock solid)
* Car Accident (I have a shit ton of energy drinks and food, and I'm not afraid to stop if I get tired. This is no gumball 3000)
So if you don't hear from me, then assume the worst and assemble a search party. I could be anywhere between Boise, ID and Burlington, VT, so make sure you get a lot of people. Hopefully I'll see most of you on Tuesday at Bike Night (in the cage, but I get one free pass)
