2015--Day 1
Once again, on the road. Left Le Roy around 9:15 am and headed west down the Thruway. The vans are great, and even have a mounted laptop holder that suspends the computer in front of the passenger that I hope doesn't kill me. We're looking at a long ride today, as we need to be in Hays, KS Saturday afternoon.
We hit the first of probably many Subways in Erie, PA. Amazingly crowded, even without 19 chasers.
Oh Ohio...let me list all the ways of just how wonderful you are:
Well, my dad lives there with his lovely bride and their great kids, so there's that. Other than that and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, ugh. It felt like we were there forever. We did take the long
way through (NE to SW). It was great to see the Indiana state line--how often can you say that?
While in Indiana we saw a couple of interesting things. The first was the reason we came: a modest little storm that produced a bit of lightning (and there was more to come in Illinois). The other was
an overturned Fed Ex truck that spilled its load all over the side of the exit ramp. If your package is late in arriving, now you know why. You heard it here first.
The reward for a long day's travel was seeing the Arch out in front of the St Louis cityscape sometime before midnight. Never fails to take my breath away. The trip to Westport on Highway 40 was a trip down memory lane (minus the traffic). The final tally for the day (for me) was 815 miles or so, but that meant six states (NY, PA, OH, IN, IL, and MO). Thank you, St. Louis, you've been
great! Hope to see you again soon! Good night!
