Then I'll be on my way to NY! Got impatient and stuck out my virtual thumb on Craigslist from indoors with some good folks who scooped me up from the truck stop on day three of no actual ride offers. The whole situation still fell together randomly enough I count it as hitchhiking, just with spontaneous couch surfing thrown in. Charlotte's happy about this. Got her a clean bill of health from the vet to make sure we were good, but I think all the resting inside out of the heat down here has been good for her too. Looking forward to climates further north!
