Planning

So, I have spent a good bit of today trying to plan my drive home. I have about 1700 miles in front of me in just shy of two weeks. Luckily, this time I'm not doing it by myself. My brother is flying out to come back with me, which should be a lot of fun.

Right now, the plan is to go from Fraser CO to St. Louis MO the first day. It's about 13 hours or so, but my neighbor's sister lives there, so free place to crash? Yes please. The next day I'm trying to arrange somewhere in Knoxville to stay. I have a few friends there that might work out, but I'm not sure about that yet. Then onto Windy Gap, via the Cherohala Skyway, which is supposed to be one of the best driving roads in the country. I'm excited for that one, because after going through Kansas and all that boringness, I will be needing some good Carolina mountain roads with all the beautiful pavement and switchbacks they have to offer. Stay with my buddy Hampton at Windy Gap for a night, then back to the 'Boro. I won't be there for long, because I'm moving back up to school as soon as possible. Classes start the 25th or something, so I'd like a few days to get settled in before that.

Any way, these are all just preliminary plans, all open to change. Any suggestions of place to go or things to see would be welcome.

Much love.
