day five

the drive home was an early start and included another trip down the service road to the almost hidden block of land. i couldn't resist. the sunrise was simply gorgeous. and so long as i had to be awake & driving down the interstate ... i might as well take advantage of the scenery.


i hit one storm in iowa, but the rest of the drive was smooth sailing.

stats on the trip, for those of you who (like me) are totally interested in this stuff. a total of 29 hours of driving (14 there, 15 back because of the sunrise photos). a total of 1925.7 miles round trip. average speed of 68.2 miles per hour (i tried getting that right at 70, but there was a lot of construction working against me). average fuel economy 30.2 mpg.

and during the trip, my odometer ended in a five or a zero 5 times. :)
