Blogging November, Day 2 - Notes from the Road

Admittedly, the view was worth the drive

I'm trying to write at least something every day - we'll see how long this lasts.  But here are some things I learned, spending 28 hours on the road:

Oregon rest areas are amazing - clean, well-lit, set up for handicapped people with wide stalls and plumbing that makes logistical sense.  Dead Man's Lake even went so far as to make sure that the automated water in the sinks is a lovely temperature, just right for hand cleansing.  Utah rest stops...  trust me, use the restroom at the Maverick. 

The days go a lot quicker when you listen to the 70s station than when you listen to MSNBC on Sirius.  One of the days we were traveling was Mueller Monday - it was fascinating, but I never want to hear about Manafort's rugs again. 

The second day afterwards, your body will feel worse than during the actual traveling.  (Or that may just be another function of the plague I picked up in Utah - I had forgotten that small children are disease vectors par excellance.)

Going from over 6K feet above sea level down to 52 feet above sea level, your ears pop.  A lot.  Chew gum.
