I'm on my way home

Well,
I left Ft Lewis on Thursday for my cross country trek. My goal is to do this in four days. It is hard to do when your hiney keeps falling asleep!

Here is a summary of my trip so far:

There was snow in the Snowquamie pass in WA. It was cool seeing snow again. In Idaho, I passed a potato chip factory and it smelled like frying potatoes. In Wyoming, there was snow and wind (gusts up to 45 MPH)! When I passed a ridge (ele 8600) I realized that it was all down hill to VA! I am now in Ft Collins CO, and will try to reach ST Louis today. It will take about 12 hours, but I think I can do it. All I can say, is that I am grateful that the Army is picking up the tab on gas and hotels.

I made a resolution in Iraq to eat at every Hooters on the way home, but I haven't seen any yet. I will continue to look for one!(ha)

Well, off to the Jeep!
