I lost a post, which should've posted early morning, 7/19, covering most of 7/18, which entailed the long trek across Montana. I arrived in Sheridan, WY, Tuesday night, and had my last hotel stay there. I took off from Sheridan, Wednesday morning, and nearly crossed the entire I-90 corridor, stopping at a rest area, less than 25 miles behind the Idaho border, late that evening. I slept in the cab for a few hours, before rolling on into Idaho, around 3:30am. I would've preferred to do that during the day, because it's actually a mountain pass. However, as it was pitch dark, I pulled off the highway and got to see the Milky Way, which I seldom get to do.
I passed Coeur d'Alene, then stopped at one more rest area, in order to catch just a few more Zzz's. Once it was daybreak, I awoke and made the last road coffee for the trip.
The trip is now over,which is both good and sad. Good, because I completed the mission, and am reunited with my family. Sad, also, because I always gain some value from my experiences out on the open road, and those opportunities have grown fewer in later years. I will not forget this trip, nor the purpose for which it was taken.
We are now in Washington, and no longer in Missouri. We have begun the next life chapter.
