The Start of June and my Journey Home, Part 1

Yes, all of my June posts are missing, but while it is nice and wet outside, now is a good time to catch up.

Back in the beginning of June I packed up all my things, including my cat, and left my 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in Rangely, Colorado. Luckily I could fit my motorcycle and all my belongings into a Uhaul trailer. This, again, reminded me just how powerful the 2010 Toyota Tundra that I own is. I could pull a fully loaded trailer, possibly overweight trailer, without even noticing.

My landlady had a 6 page cleaning guide to my apartment, most of which I did, but I doubt I will get my deposit back. I managed to clean the whole place and jump into my truck on June 2… I got about 1 hour into the drive and had to take my first nap. Fatigue was setting in really fast, so I decided to stop every two hours to just make sure I was always awake, alert, and have enough gas to get through all the boring “fly-over” states between Colorado and Wisconsin.

It didn’t take long before I had my first problem though. The Uhaul trailer had a blowout, but, Uhaul sent a guy over and I was allowed another nap while I waited for him.

Uhaul was actually quite easy to work with, I even got to stay in the truck while the other guy worked!

And so, my drive continued… from Colorado to Wyoming, and next South Dakota…
