On day 15, somewhere east of Iowa, the urge to sleep in the comfort of my own bed overtook the urge to try out more funky lodgings. I marathoned my way through the remaining states, stopping only to fuel myself and the car.
And I'm finally home sweet home!
I'm here just long enough to unpack, return the rental car, repack and regroup, and hop on a plane to go...back where I just came from.
Yep, I'm heading back to the west coast for my next project, in Southern California.
It's been a heck of a road trip:
--16 days
--5,015 miles
--12 states (OR, CA, AZ, UT, CO, NE, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, NY)
--Too many iced coffees to count, keeping me alert for driving
Thanks for making this trip with me, I've been enjoying all your comments!
Mission accomplished

Wow, I couldn't keep up a pace like this in a million years. I do feel like I have been on a road trip, however. It's been much fun.
Are you going to be in L.A.? Do take some shots of the university for me!

Too fast a trip for me - I was really enjoying it! I sure can understand the need for the comfort of your own bed. Have fun in California! Looking forward to more posts from there.

Happy to take you on the road trip with me! I will be in Downey/Cerritos area, a bit south of Los Angeles.

I must ask: how did you ever put up with the outhouses?
Posted by: Dale | Monday, October 16, 2017 at 10:19 PM
I've never been that bothered by outhouses. It's just a momentary nuisance. I think all those years using PortaJanes at the Michigan Music Festival got me desensitized!

Way to go road warrior! And I'm so glad to hear you are turning around and coming back in the 'right' direction!

If your Dodgers will be in it, then you need to be here, don't you think?

Thanks! Coming back to where it all started, 40-something years ago. Disneyland is only 10 miles away - bring the kids...
