The biggest day of driving. 4 states covered, and 700+ miles. Stopped in Flagstaff, AZ. Getting ready to grab some breakfast and get back on the road. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day! We should hit California today. :)

Somewhere in west Oklahoma the wind started picking up and my poor little car was struggling. We decided to stop for the night in Erick, OK and camp out. We found a Day's Inn and as soon as I stepped out of the car my hat went flying into the road. I had to sprint to catch up with it. The internets say it was winds of 25-35mph with gusts up to 45 last night.

This morning it's no better, the maps show a huge pocket of 30-40mph winds in Oklahoma and nothern Texas and we are smack dab in the middle of it. Oh well, gonna be a slow drive at first today.

We were reminded that we were in Oklahoma when we woke up to tumbleweed stuck under the car. And it's almost comical to see real life tumbleweed blow across the road.

980miles down... a long ways to go.

A quick stop at Cattleman's Steakhouse & Bar for some dinner. Mmm steak and chocolate cake. Then back on the road to try to hit Amarillo, TX tonight. where you at? should be back up and running. Apparently I ran out of prepaid minutes, but after giving them more personal information than necessary I was back up and running... 710 miles down.

Woken up by the sounds of pounding concrete and construction we ventured out and found some Waffle House. Only the second one we've seen since leaving Chicago. They seem to get rather sparse the further west you go.

I forgot to mention, we crossed over the Mississippi River and passed by the St Louis Arch yesterday. It was dark, and I was trying to keep the trailer on the road, so no pictures.

We're back on the road now, shooting for at least 700 miles today. Headed to Oklahoma now!

We've got 400+ miles under our belt, and it's time to call it a night. We're in Rolla, MO and it's time to crash. Looks like mologogo crashed somewhere north of St Louis. I'll have to keep a closer eye on it tomorrow. Http://www.edrabbit.com/where/youat.php

After a full day of packing, getting a trailer hitched, and packing all my belongings up, dad, the cats, and I are ready to hit the road. We made it 400 yards before our first stop at the Fox and Hound for some dinner before we head to Springfield, MI. This trip has now been dubbed OSF, but the meaning is up in the air. Operation San Francisco, Odyssey San Francisco, Overland San Francisco, Oh Shit that's Far.

California, here I come!
Flying out of Oakland again

Another flight out of Oakland back to OHare to spend a few more hours in Chicago packing up the uhaul. Then it's on the road back to SF. Rubin was kind enough to give me a ride to OAK, sparing me the trouble of hauling luggage on muni and bart. I've got a PSP with episodes of Battlestar Galactica and and Nicole's old ipod loaded with her music. The flight should be enjoyable!

I am sitting in the middle of my new apartment, staring out the window at the lights of the Sutro Tower. You can't wipe the smile off of my face. Only one road trip left. I still can't believe I've pulled it off thus far. Such a huge change, both in location and myself. I'm living the life I want, and where I've wanted. I should have been here years ago, it feels so much like home already. The buses, the trains, walking the streets, the people, the weather, the mountains, the attitudes, the opportunities, so much to take in and so enjoyable. And I owe so much to my friends, especially Rubin and Chu. They've been so welcoming and helpful and I don't think I could have done it without them.

The last few months have brought me to depths of fear and peaks of joy, and I wouldn't change anything.
It's official

For those curious, I'm basically across the street from the marker on the Google Local build for the sidekick. :) I'll be sending out updated vcards as soon as I get a 415 number.

I'm so late for work though.
How many points?

They're everywhere... even inside the train station. Although they don't seem to be doing their job.
