After the suicide mission, Max and Jon arrived in Minnesota.
Upon arrival, they promptly embraced unconsciousness in the form of sleep. Some combination of sleeping from morning until late afternoon and not having slept for approx. 24 hours while driving through Hell, produced the following:

wait for it...let me finish...
SO, stuff actually happened after we got out of Montana, and we have video footage to prove it.
It's just that these things take time.
Hang in their folks.

Day 6: Suicide Mission, Part 1
The Suicide Mission started, naturally, at 2 o'clock in the morning. Jon decided on this time because it would give him time before hitting the road to grab a pita from Pita Pit, which closes at 3am (to cater to the late night/early morning bar-goers in Sodom-&-Gomorr-d'Alene). So, our heroes were rested with a maximum of 3 hours of sleep as they began their epic journey of the projected-20-hours-of-non-sleep.
Part 1 was for the most part uneventful. Max slept, and Jon watched the slow West Montana sunrise.
When Jon and Max passed I-15, which leads southward to Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and eventually Sunny Southern California, they ceremonially belted at the top of their lungs the song "California" by Phantom Planet. Jon wore his goggles, Max his bandana. There was talk of the world, there was talk of starcraft, there was joking and singing.
It would not be until later, in Mid-Montana, after switching from the 90 to the 94, that Jon and Max would encounter......
Hell.

Day 6: Suicide Mission
The Suicide Mission:
A 20-hour travel time from Coeur d'Alene Idaho to Minneapolis Minnesota, through Montana and North Dakota, starting at 2am on the 22nd of August and projected to end midnight.
Would they make it without falling asleep at the wheel!?
In our next post we will describe in thorough detail how the Suicide Mission led us to...
...Hell.
Days 3-5: CdA!
Day 2 Recap!
After 16 hours of driving from Berkeley, Jon and Max made it to Coeur d'Alene. Some highlights from this stretch of their journey:
- Getting pulled over in a small Oregon town by a Police Officer. Upon pulling to the side of the road, quick thinking led to Jon's hiding the Aladdin pillow and Max's putting on a g--d--- shirt. This was pivotal in avoiding an actual speeding ticket.
- Finlandia!
- We skipped Seattle altogether. Our decision deadline was Mount Shasta-Cola, and we had not heard from Josiah before then. PEACE OUT, ROCK STARS!
MOUNT SHASTA-COLA
This is Mount Shasta-Cola. Jon has a knack for capturing wind "on a film". Who Am I Quoting? NICE CAPITALIZATION.

Making our 15-year old selves happy again.

Wendy, we'll never know you.
That does not keep us from pitying you.
Or laughing at your expense.
