Today I drove about 420 miles… Google maps claims that can be done in 6.5 hours. Google maps needs to get with it and add a vintage bus setting which would give a more accurate 11+ hour estimate. I spent most of today driving, eating or napping, so there’s not a lot to report. I spent about 1/4 of the day driving through the rain and it seems that truck drivers in Ohio don’t know how to drive in the rain. There number of jackknifed trucks was amazing and added at least an hour to my journey. Tomorrow morning I plan to get on Route 66.

Our Life: We spend our time exploring the US of A in a 40’ Prevost motorcoach, soon to be replaced by the vintage Flxible coach featured on this site. If we’re in an area for more than three days, we get the “hitch itch” and want to move on. Our favorite place is our next destination. We like visiting odd America, beautiful landscapes and the empty backroads. We are constantly running into friends along the way who make the journey even more fulfilling.
