Sorry I didn't get this up last night, I'm processing the video from the 1080p video now instead of the 5 sec stills and it take a lot longer. I just left if to upload to youtube last night when I went to bed.
Either way, I skipped Yellowstone because there was literally nothing to do since the roads were closed and yet not enough snow to use a snowmobile. This was very disappointing, but I made the most of it and covered a lot of ground yesterday. As I drove US-2 around Glacier I got some of the views I had missed the day before, and I cracked up a little bit as I got to Billings just thinking about the movie "Nebraska." I also learned that I-94 starts in Billings which isn't really interesting but interests me since I drove that road so much growing up around Detroit. It also blows my mind some times just how far roads go in this country: I passed the start of US-287 which I've driven many times down in Texas!
I'm loading in the footage from today's drive now, hopefully I'll have it up later tonight.

If I make it to SC I'll let you know. I'm not sure it's on the menu right now, might go straight from Asheville to Atlanta.

I hate to admit this is the first post of this series that I noticed. I'm going back and reading your other posts now.
I remember when you posted about the Muscle Truck trip and was really looking forward to reading about your journey. Looks like an amazing trip so far!

Don't feel bad, I've been on the west coast and mostly posting at night so I imagine most people are missing them. Cost of doing business.

I've been getting about 28.5MPG over about 6200 miles so far.
I hadn't noticed any broken down or spun out cars until today, off I-90 in South Dakota I saw like 5 jack-knifed or otherwise crashed semis that clearly left the road, one on it's side. I also saw one Crossover on it's side in the median. I think there was some black ice recently or something.
No issues with the ST other than the fact that the big wheels made winter tires expensive and hard to find in the correct size.
