Free Ballin’

It tires me just to think about the drive from North Carolina to Utah, but I’ll put it down here, for the record.

I got a ride-share to Salt Lake City with a guy in Asheville, NC, who was heading to Montana for some business that was entirely legit, in a car that wasn’t, but who’s perfect?  This is the short of it, below:

2/17

Times are in MST

- 9AM Asheville, NC – we left for Nashville to pick up another guy who was going with us to Omaha

- 1PM Nashville, TN – Pick up friendly dude at a hotel and three of us drove to St. Louis.  (The guy from Asheville was being paid $40 to deliver speakers from Asheville to a guy in St. Louis)

- 1:05PM outside Nashville, TN – third guy tells us about a girl this one time

- 2:07PM further outside Nashville, TN – then there was this other girl one time

- 3:14PM even further outside Nashville, TN – there was this other girl, and a pool table

- 4PM close to St. Louis, MO – there were two girls, so he was like, hell yeah, and there was another dude who just stood by the door and watched.  But whatever.

- 5PM St. Louis, MO – dropped off speakers, set off for Omaha

2/18

- 5AM Omaha, NE – dropped off the dude from Nashville (who felt kind of like a slut, when he passed 20, but was like, whatever.)

-6AM outside Omaha – Michael Mandlin, who benefits from excellent timing, falls asleep in the passenger seat, and is later accused of having missed the worst of Nebraska

- 12PM Cheyenne, WY – come upon Sierra Trading Post Outlet Store

- 2PM Cheyenne, WY – depart from Sierra Trading Post Outlet Store, with almost as much money as we had when we went in

- 8PM – Salt Lake City – arrival
