Yes I am. Homeward bound.

The Goldbergs will be commencing their trek East tomorrow. We want to get home as fast possible, but daughter ‘n dog and general parental responsibility militate against pushing things too far, too fast. Still it’s very frustrating. We’re fine with 700 mile+ days (the trick is waking-up super early so that you miss traffic, go fast, and exploit sleeping canines and minors). But it’s really difficult to come up with a route where you don’t end up either staying places you don’t want to spend the night (I am sure there’s much beauty, fine food and accomodations in the Dakotas, but not near the interstate. Trust me, I’ve looked) or setting yourself up for a really long day followed by a short one.

Anyway, we go off-island tomorrow, spend the night in Seattle and then we’re off for Bozeman or thereabouts and then ever Eastward. It’s been a great trip. But it’s time to go home.
