Day 30 and beyond: Gimme a break

I’d been on the road for a month, and it was the day before my grandmother’s birth­day, so I was in a hurry to get home. I drove to Northwest Coffee and picked up some beans for home and a cup for myself, went back to the house, show­ered, said my good­byes and hit the road home. I briefly enter­tained the notion of stop­ping at the Firefly Grill in Effingham for lunch, but I wasn’t hun­gry. A few hours later, I pulled into the garage and began the unen­vi­able task of unload­ing my car.

9059 miles

I’m plan­ning the East Coast por­tion of the trip, spend­ing some down time at home, get­ting things done that I’d neglected on the trip, see­ing fam­ily and friends, repack­ing and fig­ur­ing out what’s next, both for the trip and my future. Thanks for com­ing along for the ride so far, and I hope you’ll stick around for the rest of the adventure.
