I wanted to update you all as I drove across the country, but signal was bad in most of the places I stopped so it was not possible. Plus, I was focused on the driving aspect of the trip for the most part.
Chip had his little spot in the back that he was able to move around some, but not much unfortunately, but he was a little trooper. He likes being in the front seat with me, but in this van, it wasn't happening due to the center console.
Anyway, I was able to grab a few shots as I was going through the Rocky Mountains in Utah when the rain finally stopped. After that I stopped at a rest area in Wyoming and saw some kind of deer like animals running around the plains.
On the last day of the trip I got to watch the sun come up as I drove into the eastern horizon. It was really quite beautiful, that is until the sun was up and all in my face, lol.
The last images were in Missouri when I stopped to fill up gas and saw a B2 Stealth Bomber flying over. I am actually an old pilot, so I love things like this. That plane was so incredibly quiet, it was almost eerie.
The trip was a total of 2700 miles from Corvallis, Oregon, which is where I started the clock when I left from seeing my daughter at college before I left, to outside Birmingham, Alabama. It was slated on the map to take 36 hours of total drive time. I did the entire trip, with stops and very little sleep, in a total of 56 hours!
Anyway, I am glad to be here on the family farm. Been working on setting up and unpacking my stuff as well as getting adjusted to being back in my hometown and around my extended family, lol.
Back in full time action on Monday!
Until then, have a great weekend and remember to be cool, be real, and always abide my dudes!
