WST Day 18: Home at last

FB and I left the Best Western in Leeds, AL with all speed as we were each ready to be off the road.

I remembered to document the item that had been lodged in the passenger rear tire for quite a while. Even FB was amazed about its size. Nancy and I were amazed that a non-pointed object could penetrate a tire. Shows how little we knew!

The final hours sped by. The road was great. the weather as perfect as it has been the entire trip; we were blessed by the climate gods! Just enough rain to make it interesting and only when we were driving on in for the night. Example, as we drove out of Arches National Park, the skies were darkening and rain was falling on those poor souls who waited in line for ages to walk the trails.

I tried to capture the skyline of Atlanta, but failed as I couldn't get the phone to erase the highway crossings! Sigh! I thought my iPhone could do anything!

We arrived at the Gray Moss Road, unloaded and, for a brief time I contemplated spending the night - I even did a small load of wash. But, after a bit, I decided I REALLY wanted to sleep in my own bed, so I drove on home after I put my un-dried laundry in a bag.

Before I left, FB finished the map of this first memorial trip for Mom. We drove 6, 627 miles!! We're planning a second excursion next year to the Great Lakes. That one will go on the map in another color.

I actually drove more, since I had the Middleburg-Charlotte round trip, but FB and I concurred those miles were not part of the trek.

I'll post one more WST blog entry  as a final reflection when I've been home a day or two.
