Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

Hammer down, 75 mph nonstop. Pounding down coffee and 5 hour energy. That's my story and you ain't moving me off it.

 

Wow had the scenery changed out here. Except for the very highest elevations, all the snow is gone and green is the dominant color. Poor folks around the Hines valley are just flooded out though. Hundreds of acres of farmland has been transformed into a lake. The only ones benefiting from it are the thousands of ducks that have taken up residence there. Got in and unloaded about 1100 today and have been relaxing and napping since, storing up energy for a big final push to carry me home. Going to be very close. Right now it looks like I may run out of time around the Tennessee/Kentucky border, but I may be able to pull it off by changing my run schedule out of Mellen to be a bit more traffic friendly. Stay tuned, this could get interesting.

Hope y'all had a good day.

 

Challenge over. My receiver doesn't unload on Friday or Saturday so running in would just be pointless especially considering the lack of parking in the area. Parked at the Pilot here on 97, and thinking about what to do for the next day. There's an awesome little brew pub right down the road that has outstanding food so I may end up there for lunch or dinner. Dang sure ain't eating no Subway. For now, a nap.

 

Yeah, but I'm thinking about leaving tomorrow and sort of slowly heading that way. Stop along the way in Northern Idaho and Western Montana to enjoy the sights and scenery, maybe take a picture or two. Not often can you be a paid tourist when you drive for a living...might as well take the chance when it pops up.
