It's Saturday, 8:05am EST, or 7:05am local time as we're in Illinois. Fred is still driving, and except for two gas and comfort breaks, we've driven straight through. We've managed to stay on I-70 except for a brief 10 mile detour, and it appears that so far, a GPS is not required for this part of the trip.
West Virginia and Ohio were just a blur. It was dark and I was asleep. I woke up when we were in Indiana, and we stopped for gas and a gourmet breakfast at the T/A truck stop outside of Indianapolis. For those adventuresome folks following our trek, I highly suggest sticking to the salty, tasty treats in the car and skip the food at the Truck Stop. Fred wanted to turn the interior light on for me so I wouldn't have to eat in the dark. A big mistake. What was that rubbery piece of protein (at least I like to think it was) in my breakfast sandwich? When I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Dawn brought a beautiful clear sky. It's rather pretty with the fog over the farms fields, trees bright with fall colors, and no radar traps on the road. We're about an hour from St. Louis, and I'm excited about crossing the Mississippi (did I spell that right?) in a car, as I haven't done so in many years.
And to quote Fred, "And Moab is how far from Ocean City???"
I reply, "2180 miles."
We've travelled 850 miles so far...
