Today I begin to drive across the country

It is about 2800 miles from New York City to Joseph, Oregon. Pickle did not want to leave Nathan's apartment this morning. Usually he spins and jumps as we head for the door. But he had already seen the bags and bike go downstairs and just sat in the middle of the living room instead. 

Poor guy, it is hard to leave, but I think we will be back sooner than he knows.
