Looks like adventure starts today. above lower 48 states on HW 15. two more nights at least in united states and then into Canada. have to learn how to clean out auto from lunch stops. have been stoping at most of the rest areas. I will let you know when its get colder outside. yes indeed. maybe Idaho Falls for tonight. sometime want to make 2 nights rest at same hotel. can fall asleep very well at night. 7, 8 am leave each morning. have been filling gas tank each time half full. $19.

I like that reference to "half-full".  Shows why Bob is doing something not too many people have done or will do. Trekking from Florida to Alaska. You have a good spirit, Bob! |

Could be time for that two day break - it really can get to you after awhile so take some time and then you'll feel much better. It's also safer to drive when you are rested - both mentally and physically. You've made great time so far.
