Oregon in a day

443 miles later, I'm in Boise ID. It didn't seem like a long day, but I did lose an hour when crossing into mountain time zone. Blerg. i'm going to lose another when I enter central. The drive was perfect. There was some construction that slowed me down a bit, but nothing major. I guess I averaged about 70mph. Best part was a burger in Durkee, OR at a place named the Red Neck Cafe.

Thursday takes me through ID and across Wyoming. If you have any suggestion for stops along the way on I 80, leave them in the comments. We'll make a game out of it.

Summer Journey 2009

We're doing it again. Anna is finished with school in about 16 days and we leave Philly on the 29th of July. I'm heading back on my own prior to that, so watch for tweets and posts during that 4 days and 3200 miles. It should be interesting. The return trip will take us to NC to visit friends, AR and MO to visit family and the rest of the South to explore. OOh Ooh, we'll also spend a night in Vegas. You're jealous, I know.

Leading up to it, I gotta get prepared. Anyone have a TOM TOM we can borrow? I'm getting a bit stressed, but know it will all work out. I just have to get my TPS reports done before the trip.

Stay tuned. It will be an incredible journey.
