Woke up in El Rancho and threw our stuff back in the car. I looked across the street to see where we were and saw the motel we COULD have stayed at.
We set off with Dylan in his usual prime directive of finding coffee above all else. We found this really cool breakfast joint and ordered breakfast. Dylan got a breakfast sandwich with an extra egg in lieu of meat (he's trying to give up red meat and doing pretty well at it) and I got a mediterranean breakfast wrap. The styrofoam smelled a little funny when i got the boxes and I opened them up to find this
FRUIT! I hadn't had fruit in ages. And it was perfectly ripe. Orange slices, pineapple slices, honey melon all of it just fell off the rine. MMM SO GOOD! And the coffee was excellent. Finally a turn in the luck.
Eggcellent
We got on the road and were in high spirits. It was the final stretch.
After none too long we saw it.
SO CLOSE!!!!
Dylan insisted we stop to take a picture in a town called Moses Lake. Apparently one of his friends was trapped there with a broken car for two weeks. So we took this for him.
We kept on keeping on as the landscape just got more and more green.
More trees.
More mountains.
More
And then...the gateway.
WE DID IT!
I know I"m really behind in this but the next entry will be very exciting. LOTS to tell everyone!
Won't have internet for a few days but we'll see what we can do about getting this updated proper.
Miss you all!
Congrats guys! I'm impressed you kept the geo moving and made it across the country without long pants. Can't wait to hear how it's going and hoping to get your address, even a PO Box.
