I've started my trip Westward. I fueled the truck this morning. That was a frigid experience. The temp dropped to 2 degrees last night. Brrrrrrrrrrr. I'm sure glad my heat was up to the task. I recall rousing once during the night and feeling a bit chilly. I turned up the heat a little and went back to sleep.
I'm stopped in Portage, WI for my breakfast before continuing West. As I haven't been out to Seattle in a long time I'm kind of looking forward to the scenery along the way. I'm just hoping Mother Nature behaves herself and doesn't cause the highways to be closed down along the way.
It's going to be a chilly trip. I've been running the heat almost wide open this morning and the truck is barely staying comfortable. If it gets too bad I'll partially block the grill with a piece of cardboard to cause the radiator to run a bit hotter. An old trick, but a good one.
It's nice to be able to just take my time. I'm in no rush at all and can just relax and enjoy the trip, stopping whenever I feel like it.
