As we drive back through Cascade Family Resort’s front gate, I see the sign again, the one that says where families go to be families again. That may work for other families, but as for the Cobbs, it’s hard not to feel our family unit has taken a step backward.

The ride home is long and boring. My bunk is still saggy, Walden’s snoring still keeps me awake. Howard the Duck’s engine still wheezes like he has a cold. But I sort of enjoy the emptiness of the endless drive. It feels good to have nothing to do but ride along. No rehearsal. No show. Just the wheels turning and the endless highway. I help Dad change one of Howard’s tires. Help flag down a car to give us a jump when the battery dies.

I make lists in my journal with my grandfather’s pen. The Weirdest Billboards. The Best Beatles Albums. Animals I’m Afraid Of. Favorite Aretha Franklin Songs. Foods That Start with the Letter S.

Indiana becomes Ohio becomes Pennsylvania becomes New York becomes Vermont. A blurry string of gas stations and rest areas and McDonald’s Extra Value Meals.
