dec. 23--flew into bellinham via las vegas (terror threats that same day)
dec. 24--chilled in bellhinham and packed up cam's pad. got some new kicks.
dec. 25--bellingham to pendelton OR.merry christmas cam, merry christmas travie, on the road made it to pendleton or....somthing was wrong with the hitch that was towing the u-haul trair. holiday dinner in a shari's resturant where i had some tossed salad.
dec. 26--pendelton OR to la grand OR. a u-haul affilated repair man takes us to his closed shop while he fixed cam's car. we sit in cold dark lobby for four hours. contiuned drive to la grand or. got off an exit to gas up and look for snow chains for the upcoming mountain passes. we were advised that we were crazy to think we were getting to boise that night.
dec. 27--la grand OR to ogdon UT. put chains on, headed up pass. took chains off. made it to ogdon. put in our first really long drive.
dec. 28. ogdon UT to la platte NE. our second really long drive.
dec. 29. la platte NE to macomb IL. another long drive. stopped at the WORLDS LARGEST truck stop on I-80. made it to the town of cam's grad school and stayed with some of his old chums from school. i had some gross chinese food at midnight, stayed up untill 2 and woke up at 8 and was still nauscous from my "general goa's chicken".
dec. 30. macomb IL to indianpolis, IN. spend the morning in macomb and went to the infamous "farm king" i got to tell you...that was quite a place.....headed to indianapolis to have dinner with friend. we planned on driving through the night to get to boston but....we spent the night on her lucious leather couch.
dec. 31. indianapolis to buffallo NY. left early, had good coffee and krispy kreme and were chugging right along, again thinking we would make it to boston if we didn't stop. but then somewhere in northern ohio our muffler broke off. after being refused help and us determined not to stay in that shitty ohio town, cam cut the muffler off with his pocket knife and we kept on going. we drove with the windows down untill we got to buffallo and spend the night in a really shitty hotel.
jan. 1 2004 buffallo NY to Boston ma. i woke up so gitty and exited. i couldn't wait to be back home and i had had such a good time with cam. there was a starbucks on the highway and i loaded up. boston for me. portland for cam.
spending so much time with someone i learned so much more about them and myself. its a real experince, its survival and adventure.
