Tis a strange feeling to load almost everything one owns into a pickup and set off across the country without a definate place to live yet.
Here’s how my journy begain:
Sunday
6:15pm – Left cabin
6:28pm – Get home to pick up last minute stuff
6:46pm – Leave Home
9:02pm – Fill up gas in Aitkin, MN
Monday
1:53am – Fill up gas in Jamestown, ND
2:55am – Pull over just east of Bismark, ND for a few winks of sleep
6:07am – Woke up
7:45am – Fill up gas in Beach, ND
11:10am – Fill up gas in Billings, MT
1:51pm – Fill up gas in Belgrade, MT
5:54pm – Fill up gas in Chubbuck, ID
8:55pm – Arrive at Pete&Jill’s in Boise, ID
Tuesday
12:30pm – Left Pete&Jill’s
1:28pm – Fill up gas in Caldwell, ID
2:45pm – Fill up gas in LeGrande, OR
7:42pm – Fill up in Sandy, OR
10:11pm – Arrive at Dan&Lori’s in Eugene, OR (2173.8mi)
Truth be told, my truck gets 21.32mpg, and the average I paid for gas was $1.765/gal.
