27 Hours in a car mostly driving

I did all but 3 of those hours as the driver, that's an entire day spent behind the wheel and mostly at speeds above a mile a minute. Hurtling a couple thousand pounds of steel mini-van down a cold and windy prairie highway around bigger trucks and smaller cars and all with the entire family on board and trusting you to keep them safe. Now that is adventure! It is a sense of accomplishment to get there, then get back again, and logging the times all the way noting how good (or bad) the pace is. OK, enough of this driving stuff, the trip is done, and I'm glad of it. [Getting to see the family there though makes it all worth it]
