The Long Road Home
We left Minnesota around 11 PM Saturday night. On the way out of town we made a quick stop at the Mall of America to snap some photos and whatnot.
Then we continued onward driving throughout the night and the next day with only a few power naps here and there. By Sunday afternoon we were in Grand Island, Nebraska again, with hopes of finding Ryan's forgotten skateboard. But all hope was lost when some local said he was "pretty sure he saw the board" and another added, "yeah so-and-so, if they find a board, will usually take it and divide the parts up between them" or something along those lines. From the sound of it Ryan's board had been taken, dismembered, and dispersed among some Nebraska savages. After the short stop in Grand Island it was onward to Laramie, Wyoming and the skatepark that was closed on our way through before. We skated for a couple hours, a welcome break after driving almost nonstop through Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska. But the Journey was hardly over. We left Laramie with a plan to make it to Salt Lake City in order to see the Great Salt Lake Monday morning...and we made it. 3 AM parked on the side of the road in front of the lake to sleep.
And finally, today we left Utah this morning and drove all day, arriving home after two great weeks on the road.
