Rerouting

“Rerouting,” is what my GPS says when we take a turn off our preplanned route. Those of you who’ve been following my blog know I said we were going to be leaving California via Highway 101 north. If, however, you check the map that shows where we are you will find us far from there. And if you noted the location of the campgrounds I complained about in my last blog you will have a clue as to which direction we did take.

So here, for Gary France’s A Blogger’s Centerline Day photo challenge (http://garysusatour.blogspot.com/2011/04/abcd-will-you-take-part.html) is a picture of my foot pointing towards the centerline of Interstate Highway 80 as we travel east through Nevada in our motorhome.

No, I don’t normally put my foot up there. It’s much too far away. I had to slouch way down in my seat to reach that far but the rules of the challenge said at least part of me had to be in the picture so what you see here is me engaging in risky behavior. Not very risky, though since there was no traffic anywhere near us. If one of those famous I-80 wind gusts had happened to come along just then, though, you might have seen a picture Dave took of me rolling in the aisle after having been dumped from my precarious perch. Fortunately, the wind gusts came both before and after I did my slouching bit for the world of bloggers while I was safely buckled into my seat.

For those of you new to this blog, we live full-time in a 35-foot motorhome traveling all over the U.S.A. At the moment we are headed to Minnesota but we have a ways to go yet before we get there–1607.82 miles according to my mapping software. Since we only drive a couple hundred miles a day it will take us at least a week to get there. I hope all those days turn out to be as pleasant as this one.

TTYL,

Linda

  1. I was going to take the centerline picture and then completely forgot about it – not just once but twice. And now it’s pitch black outside. Love the foot.

  2. Nice foot-photo!

    I wish you best of luck heading to Minnesota on I-80. I’m still a little traumatized from the insane winds I encountered a few weeks ago along that interstate in Wyoming. I hope you have calmer weather for your crossing.

  3. We haven’t seen any of the midwest so I’ll be really interested to follow your travels out there!
