BevLive: a long, dull road

Boring. The trick to driving across the country is just doing it. That sounds easy, but it's very dull, and I find the temptation to stop can be nearly over whelming.

I stopped four times today for fuel. At over a hundred dollars a stop, that was plenty of entertainment. I also stopped twice to grab something to eat. But since it was in the upper 80s and lower 90s all day, I left the dogs in the truck with the air conditioning on and just grabbed some take away and ate while I drove.

The dogs got four 10-15 minute walks. That's it–the rest of the time we drove. I'm in York, Nebraska now at 11:00 pm. Another lovely Walmart. 

Doesn't look like I went anywhere today: same store as last night, same parking lot. I'm just $450 poorer for having run my truck all day.

Still, it was very uneventful which on a long drive is always the best scenario. I can also report that the only state that actually gives any value for the charge on their turnpike is Ohio. They have a good road, great places to stop and walk dogs, and some reasonable food at their service areas.
