G.A.R.T - Happy ending

Made it back home. Chicago to Austin, 1105 miles, 16.5 hours. Stopping every 3 or 4 hours to pee or get gas.

Drove through the Ozarks. It's nice. The blanket of snow may have helped. Snow is the great equalizer - even makes a double wide look like a Thomas Kinkade (the Painter of Light) painting.

Funny, when I started on my trip last Thursday, it was 87 degrees out, and I was driving in shorts and a t-shirt. On my way back today it was 10 degrees in central Illinois, and I had on a wool base layer, flannel shirt, my Ibis hoodie, and a GoreTex shell.
