As we pulled out of Durant on state highway 70, the fog over the fields was pretty, but driving due east into the rising sun tends to burn the retinas.
It did seem like the real start of our adventure. After all, today we were crossing state lines!!!! Nathan insisted on riding with me for the morning leg. I had to endure 2 rounds of the Alvin and the Chipmunks sound track. Who decided that the Alvin soundtrack should be hip-hop?
Eric managed to survive driving the UHaul and trailer in city traffic. I'm so glad we're doing this on the weekend when traffic isn't so bad. But we were on a schedule! Had to get to the hotel in time for the game! Move it! Move it! Move it!
All sorts of random thoughts while driving for 9 hours. Besides the afore mentioned Alvin question - you know how people who fly for long hours have to work about leg clots? Has anyone ever done a study on long haul truckers? Is this something I should be worried about? Has southern Louisiana recovered from Gustav yet? Nobody talks about that any more, cuz it's all about Ike now.
You'll all be releaved to know that we made it to the LaQuinta Inn with an hour to spare. Of course, no Fox Sports Southwest on the tv. Had to make due with internet radio to listen to the game. This is now our life.
Yet another dinner of pizza. Seriously, Nutrasystem for me when Eric goes to ANOC.
Another 9 hours to look forward to on Sunday! The feeling of adventure generally wears off around 2:00. Then it's just trudge on through to the hotel.
