Faces from the back of the bus begin to appear around 11:30. We hit the Flying J Truckstop for a group crap. Geez, that sounds strange. I grab a USA Today and a local paper – you know, for the comics.
Since leaving Denver last night, we've driven through Colorado and Wyoming. We're currently in Utah, and will continue on through Idaho, Oregon, and finally into Washington. Total mileage on this trip is 1335 miles, according to the bus driver's GPS system.
We stop again around 3pm at another Flying J, not far from the Oregon border. The drivers have to pick up the Oregon Fuel Permits, which they have ordered via phone today and had faxed to the "J".
Both buses dump personnel into the truckstop for junk food and a leg stretch, then we're off again.
Here's a few photos of the sights I take in through the windshield during the day..
One last stop at a scenic overlook somewhere in Oregon gives me these shots...
Looks like we're ahead of schedule. We should be arriving at the hotel around 10 tonight, making this only a 21 hour bus ride.
Watch the Panthers game up until the time we arrive at the hotel. They won, but I lost the pool because of the tiebreaker parameters. I did, however, when a $50 side bet with the drum tech. Yay!
Up to my room for a shower. Not going out, just hanging in the room…

You know, 'Zilla, it's Thursday 10/6, and here's the 10/3 update still staring at me.
It's pretty difficult to live my life vicariously through you if you go so long without updating. I sure as hell hope you can step up the pace a little.
Your pal,
Foy
