That cake!!! The looming sense of the adventure fading back into the background of normalcy resonates strongly here :)

What an excellent line that I feel describes your entire adventure: “with the gusto of teenage boys”. Thank you to the three teenage boys who accomplished what so few could ever dream of….

Oh....and why the 99? Obviously want tips from a Super Traveler.

The 99 is 3 lanes or more in most places, and there are a lot more places to get something to eat or get gas. The 5 is out in the middle of nowhere and has a lot more truck traffic as well😎

Once again you had me grinning at the end of a very long day. I have been so busy I could not respond to your previous entry but I was oh so glad that the journey continued at least for a little while longer. I hate to be selfish but this is something that I needed right now, so thank you my friend for taking me out of myself and onto the open road with you. Take care and I hope to see you sometime this year. Must talk to the Jane and discuss dates.

I am so happy for the memorable celebration Gary’s family provided! And your description of Gary with his grandchildren made me tear up and smile at the same time. Thank you Scott, for sharing your adventures with such eloquence and magical interweaving of words and wisdom!
