2018--day 14

Monday, 4 June 2018

An early start (8:30 local) to what promised to be a long-ass day, but the finish line is in sight.  A distant sight, but still in sight.  Left St. Louis with less than we arrived (thanks again), and headed east for the promised land.  Our route: I70 through Illinois and Indiana into Ohio, then I71 to I90.  Not much to say (and even less to show, I'm afraid), just lots and lots of highway.  We arrived in LeRoy around midnight, meaning we spent over 14 hours on the road (minus several stops).  The day's count: 816 miles.

To recap the adventures:

14 days
16 individual states (with some repeats, of course)
6.5 tornadoes (15.5 lifetime)
1 (!) McDonalds stop
7,605 miles (~98% driven by yours truly)
18,753 lightning strikes (probably an underestimate)
Countless memories

In summary, aside from the break-in, this trip was a smashing success!  But I think I speak for all who participated when I say it's wonderful to be home.  Thanks so much for reading, I truly hope you enjoyed it.  Until next time, this is Les Nessman saying good day, and may the good news be yours.  (Oh God, I'm delirious!)
