A Practice Run

Kenya and I were driving most of yesterday. We left home around 9 and got back around 3:30. We stopped for pee breaks and lunch as well as a visit with Rob, Scott and Charlie so we were actually driving for about 4 hours. Once we start our trek to Nova Scotia we will likely be driving over 300 miles a day. That will entail at least 6 hours of driving per day plus rest stops. We can do it but it will be a marathon for an old hermit and a dog who both like lots of leg stretching exercise. I guess we will start out really early every day and break up the day around 9, noon, and 5 for meals and walkabouts. I have to find a way to make sure that Kenya gets her meals indoors as she can't relax when she eats outside. She thinks she has to protect her food from predators. I may just feed her a whole day's ration when we get to the hotel each evening.
