Insane who me no way! Day one



Insane who me no way! Day one




I call them day one, two, three… because they are not Thursday, Friday, Saturday they are from when we get out of bed to when we get back into one. 


So as it gets closer the guys are asking how many caches and which ones are we getting. While an exact number won’t be known until after our trip I am looking real close at the route to lock it down a lot closer.  Most of the stops are planned around stopping every couple of hours and making those stops at highway rest stops with caches. Also gas is spaced out about every 300 miles and I also used Gas Buddy android app to see what areas had better gas prices. If we could save 10 cents a gallon by driving a bit longer I used those places to get gas. With traveling over 3,000 miles every penny counts.

Time to get some Shut eye and start fresh the next day.

I am still debating on having an event that night because a lot can happen in this trip to make us late and or way to tired to want to talk to anyone.  If anyone lives near Gastonia, NC and would like to host an event Friday night around between 6-8 PM CDT we would love to stop by for a bit let us know.
