Here it is: take off day! I'm just about finished packing up, and should be on the road in about a half hour. Got hit with a whopper of a head cold Sunday morning, spent most of the day in bed, delirious. The haze lifted yesterday afternoon, and I should be good for a ten hour day of driving. Fingers crossed! Hoping to make Sheridan, WY tonight, which will make tomorrow an easy day with time for a grocery stop in Rapid City. I'm really looking forward to hitting the nice Midwest weather. Here in the Northwest it's been chilly, rainy, and this morning it's snowing. I'm off to make a nice big mug of coffee for the road, finish packing, and hug the family goodbye.
