So I got a late start to the day today, leaving around 11:30am. And that was basically due to me staying up so late the previous night trying to get my blog to work. But I’ve harped about that enough the previous evening…

My trip west has finally come. My Hyundai Santa Fe is packed to the gills with my life and in just a few short hours I will be leaving my home town and driving all the way to Vancouver, WA, roughly following the Oregon Trail and no less than three locations called “Castle Rock.” The one in the Oregon Trail video game is the last one I’ll pass–or more to the point–actually be driving under, since somebody had the bright idea of building the Interstate right through this unique landmark.

Hopefully I will update this blog each night with photos of the trip west and a small update as well as to what things I did and was able to see. Until then, goodnight.
