The trip really started before the trip even started. We all met at Peter’s house on Tuesday night
and were planning on heading out Wednesday morning after spending the night at
Pete’s. Per the usual, however, we got
impatient and called a last second audible, deciding to take a brief nap and
then hit the road at about 1:00 AM. This
is where Day 0 originated, because the trip started a full 8 hours before we
had planned. The benefits of this
decision were clear: more time in Chicago on Wednesday, more night driving, and
ultimately more adventure. The negatives
we didn’t figure out till later: dealing with car trouble in the pitch dark and
being crammed in a car with 6 irritable and incredibly tired dudes. But what’s done is done, and apart from losing
some bungee cords for the cartop carrier (the above mentioned car trouble), we were
able to successfully get the trip underway.
