Driving In The Dark: Another long, strange trip

"I just returned from a trip up north the Anaconda. Anaconda is one of the super bases here in Iraq. that I wrote about it earlier this summer. I had to attend an Intel meeting so I decided to go there by the Saber Squadron's preferred means on transportation: a convoy.
One of the reasons I went was to go on one of our convoy escorts. Its one of our regular missions and it’s our biggest one. The trip from COB Adder to Anaconda is just under 300 miles and we do it in one night: a long, dark night. From start to finish we drive the trip in about 10 hours with only one scheduled stop. Sometimes we have to stop to check out things on the road or get a quick pit stop but generally we knock it out in two ‘legs."
