September 6, 2005: Home Again

Yikes! Getting home is going to be expensive.

I slept like a baby and didn't wake up until 5 AM. I didn't bother with breakfast and was back on the road within 5 minutes. I mentally calculated that I might not get home until 10 PM which pissed me off further.

I eventually made up for lost time by exceeding the posted speed limits by 10 mph and recalculated my ETA to be 9 PM. I made it back to Wisconsin without incident at 4:45 and to Wausau by 7:00. Now the tricky part of avoiding Wisconsin's stupid deer began as it was now dusk and I was in prime deer country.

Alas, I made it unscathed through Shawano and was soon speeding home on I-43. At 9:05 I pulled up into my driveway thankful for the safe pasage back home.

A great trip was now in the books.
