Hello all!
I promised to keep everyone up to date on the hijinks in Chicago. Here I am!
Got here July 3rd, just in time for the fireworks the next day. The drive across from Ventura was great, and Mac the husky was very well behaved. He mostly slept, snored, and enjoyed rest area grass once we got past the 11o degrees in the Southwest.
Mac likes Condo Living! I think he likes walkies four times a day, the elevator (he doesn’t understand stairs), he loves air conditioning and lies under the vent joyfully exposing his very furry belly while tumbleweeds of white fluff wander the condo until the are caught by the shark vacuum.
Back to the drive. Google mapped me through southern Colorado, then Kansas and Nebraska, almost all on small highways. I recommend this! I wasn’t in a hurry, the weather was awesome, the roads were mostly (eerily) empty, and there are a million small towns worth driving through. Full disclosure: I love farmland and rolling hills. So does the husky.
As we drove along, all alone for mile after mile, I was certain we were lost and heading for an alien abduction or perhaps a pie shop. I’m okay with either. But nope, we just kept rolling along.
