Chapter 18 - THE FINAL LEG
LEAVING ROLLA WAS GOING to be the more interesting driving to do on this final leg home. It was dark, had been raining. The road was two lane now, would change and intersect with other two-lane roads while I was supposedly following a Federal highway north to the state capitol.
Once at Jeff City, I'd be in a wild scene of several Federal highways intersecting and combining to cross a single bridge. Somehow, I would then exit onto Interstate 54, which had been widened into a dual-lane highway all the way to my home.
I started in good spirits, wanting to be off, wanting these next few hours to be over so that I could start my life over again. The road wound through the hills through the town, houses becoming more infrequent and trees filling the gaps.
