Sandman's Journal

'Tis a small miracle that Lenny, JOE, and I are still truckin'. We've broken down multiple times and are now puttering across the landscape at well below the speed limit. We are fully prepared to camp on the side of the interstate, but last night we fortunately made it to my Aunt Bryher's place in Basin, MT. This may be JOE's last ride. I've spent over $200 in mechanic's fees in the last two days, but JOE deserves every piece of encouragement I can give him. We've many a mountain pass to climb in the next two days.
