I took the northern route and spent a night in Illinois and a couple of days in MN. Visiting relatives. Enjoyed a couple of lovely family dinners and a birthday party. It was so nice and grounding.
Then it was off for the rest of the trip. I had two plans for the drive. Stopping somewhere and getting a HD t-shirt for my brother, which I did in Butte, MT. And I had seen signs for a used bookstore. Good thing I was really paying attention. I see how I missed it last time. You see the billboard and it is for the next exit. Enjoyed some time poking around and I left a few dollars there in Alberton, MT.
Made really good time even with my stops. I have learned to follow my friend Doug's example and make sure I have my hotel(s) booked. No more sleeping in rest areas. Beds are so much more comfortable.
While I was gone, I applied for a job. I had a phone interview on Monday and was basically offered the job. It's a market where people who want to work can find a job. So, I had to time my trip home to a meet and greet this week. And I made it. Naturally.
