The time between driving breaks just got shorter and shorter during the course of the previous day and the remainder of the drive home. I was now at a point where I was on familiar stretches of the road and thusly wanting to get home. I was resigned to the fact that I would be arriving home at the crack of dawn and would have to figure out my work day that was to begin at 9 45 this morning. There was a problem communicating via relay when I rested in east Texas after dark last night, so I had no idea what was supposed to happen or what one of my bosses was trying to tell me. I gassed up one last time before getting home. I finally arrived home just past 6 AM, putting 1,322.5 miles on the little truck from the dealership in Columbus, Ohio to home. Here is the final mileage on the trip meter (add 1,000 miles to it);
I will have one more journal entry, but this is the final daily journal entry. This next journal entry is more of a period of reflection on the experience of the trip and missing details I might have overlooked. Also, I will have photos from my camera modified before putting them on the web site and editing the text, which I will provide a link to in the near future after I send out the reflection entry. I'm going to give that entry a few days to see if anything bubbles up, and then I start on the new page to be added to my list of trips on my America Overland web site.
