Missouri Trip Day 2 Wrap-Up
So I am here at my parents’ house near tiny Fordland, MO, population 850. This place is so far out in the sticks that it’s a wonder they even have dial-up internet. Dial-up is better than no Internet at all, but my cell phone is down for the count as Verizon gets no coverage out here and I am on their “extended network.” Roaming sucks.
I blazed through southern Indiana and Illinois today, and a little over half of Missouri. Saw the Midwest in all its glory. More stuff that happened…
- I passed about 15 more construction sites. It’s not just the big cities that are affected, it would appear. Now every road is being plagued by constant construction. I sat outside of St. Louis for a half-hour waiting to even move a mile in one construction site.
- I figured out that I get 334.2 miles per tank of gas. Not shabby at all.
- Stopped at a Flying J in Sullivan, MO and used Wi-Fi internet access in my car. Amazing.
- Met Mom at the Marshfield Wal-Mart. Then we came out here to Fordland, which is actually somewhat decent - but it’s in the sticks.
- I put pictures of the trip over, in the MediaCenter about an hour ago. Enjoy.
That’s about it for now. I’m here safely, and I am thrashed. Bedtime!
