It was only 5:30 in the morning when we bolted out of Willows and just kept going and going down the road.

We race across the landscape in our attempt to cover 840 miles as fast as possible (1,361 km). No time for ice cream or celebrating the resurrection as we figured we needed about 14 hours to get home from the point we left this morning, but we did need a photo of the sign. We pulled into Phoenix just after 9:00 p.m., which is an hour later than California, so it took us 14.5 hours to get home. I wonder where we’ll go next.
