Number Eleven

I woke up Tuesday morning and started my journey. I started at Illif and 225, at 9:30am after getting gas. Why there you ask? Well the entire time I lived in Colorado the only time I took 70 east was to go to the airport. And every morning driving to work I thought about taking east instead of west. It was surreal. That could have been because legally I was still drunk or it was my dream finally coming into fruition. I stopped in Accra, CO. There was a rest stop there. It was the last rest stop in CO.

I drove through Kansas on TWO tanks of gas! That is not including the first one. I averaged 28 miles per gallon. Wednesday afternoon I stopped in Missouri to visit my Aunt Lyn and Uncle Cleo who I have not seen in over 18 years. Then Thursday I stopped in Columbus’ OH to have breakfast with my grandmother and lunch with my grandfather. Whom I have not seen in almost 20 years. I was so full all I wanted to do was crawl back in bed. I speed up 91n to meet up with my brother on I80. I did get to stop in Grandpa’s Sweet Shoppe and Cheese Barn. I spent over $100 but I got mother’s day presents. After seeing Chris I decided to go home. I got in Saturday at 5:30 and crashed for two days!

The most I had to pay for gas was $3.55 a gal. in Clairion, PA. According to a local this was the cheapest place to buy gas in the whole area. In Boonton, NJ gas was $3.21. The first day I drove over 633 miles. Day two I only drove 200 miles. Day three I drove 621 miles. And day four I drove over 900 miles!!! My total trip was 2500 miles.
