Okay, so this blogging takes some commitment. Turns out that after driving, driving, driving it’s not the first thing on one’s mind.
4/10/09 – Got a late start from Grand Junction but crossed the mountain with no bad weather. Spent the night in Deer Trail Co near a school with a cold hard wind pounding on us all night. One vision going through my mind, you know the scene, houses, people and farm animals whirling through the sky. It was 1:30 am.
4/11/09 – Departed driving into the wind ( nature’s little joke on my husband and his gas mileage logging) and stopped for a late breakfast in Flagler Co. I have to wonder what it would be like to be visiting from another country, or planet, and run across some of the interesting sites along this stretch of highway. The pink caddy with John and Elvis is in Flagler. Although it was tempting, we resisted the urge to stop for the 5 legged steer, rattlesnakes and baby pigs.
We crossed the state line into KS at noon and spent the night in a WalMart parking lot in Lawrence KS. It is cold and windy.
4/12/09 – Easter Sunday. We had thoughts of finding a church to attend Easter service but it was late and we opted to get on the road again instead. There are plenty of sermons on the radio.
At 6:45 pm we crossed into IL and caught a glimpse of the St Louis Arch. Settled for another Walmart parking lot in Mount Vernon IL @ 9:30 pm. No breaks in the dark cloud and wind that continues to follow us.
4/13/09 – Departed a little before 8 am and crossed into IN at 9:00 am. Weather started out pretty gloomy and rainy but we have stopped (so I could blog) in Louisville KY and it is a little cloudy but really at the peak of Spring. Really pretty.
Plan on spending the night with some friends in Mayslick KY before heading to the Airstream factory tomorrow…stay tuned.
