Road Trip


View Larger Map








Went on a 700mile / 13 hour roadtrip yesterday. I left Baldwin at 8am, was in Ottumwa IA, by 2:30, loaded up the car we bought from Josh & Debora. I was back on the road by 4:30, and finally home by 11:10pm. It seamed to go really fast on the trip down, but from Ames IA to the Minnesota State line sure seamed to take forever. Since the car dolly was not " stable" enough to go 70mph, I decided I might as well take Hwy 63 the whole way down. Was a nice drive, but corn gets kind of boring after 5 hours... Once the car was loaded, I was able to go faster so I took Hwy 35.




Thanks again to J&D for selling us the car, My Dad for letting me use his truck, and to the neighbor who let me use the trailer. It sure beat trying to do that trip with Sam.
