We departed Albert Lea, MN at 6:30 AM CDT on Saturday and rolled in to the Aerie at 2:15 AM EDT on Sunday morning. A distance of 1050 miles or so covered in approximately 18 hours and 45 minutes with stops for meals (3), potty (2) and gasoline (3) included. (Some of the stops were multipurpose but none was more than 30 minutes.) After brief morning showers, the weather cleared and we had no rain at all through Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Terry did almost three hours of driving in Ohio...during daylight...without rain. I usually let her drive the more challenging stretches that have included severe thunderstorms, fog, construction sites, etc. or all of the above...at night, so she was shocked and pleased to have been given such a relatively easy stretch at the wheel.
More to be written later on Sunday when I've had a chance to get my thoughts organized.
PS: The cats were extremely pleased to see us.
