Ok...so I've actually taken the time to blog. That word sounds weird.
We left Oregon on Monday (28 June) at 3:30AM and drove all day toward our destination: Salt Lake City. The first several hours were in silence, as everyone (except for me of course) was sleeping. When everyone finally awoke, we turned on the CD player and listened to our first song:
With everything ahead of us
We left everything behindBut nothing that we needed
At least not at this time
And now the feeling that I'm feeling
Well it's feeling like my life is finally mine
With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive...
Jack Johnson, Broken
Totally unplanned. I had heard the song before, but had never taken the time to actually listen to the lyrics...and they seemed oddly apropos given the circumstances.
After several fuel, food and bathroom stops, we arrived at the hotel in Salt Lake around 6:30 PM MDT. Day One was in the books. 800 miles down. 2500 to go.
