This is my first posting in over 2 years, since my excursion to Manchester in June of '08. I am six hours into our road trip, and I am somewhere in Indiana. So far the trip has been flawless, and other than the sign indicating we crossed the border, Indiana is indistinguishable from Kentucky, excluding the .20 cent jolt upward in fuel prices. Toward Louisville there were a number of beautiful farms, with huddled masses of various Horse breeds. There was about an inch and a half to two inches of snow blanketing the area, but the roads are completely clear. Louisville skyline bares a resemblance to Nashville, but with a lot more iron truss bridges littering it's borderline. Our next Landmark will be Indianapolis, and from there Chicago. We are scrambling to get past Chicago before 4pm, as they have snow in the forecast, and we don't want to get bogged down in that! According to the friendly voice of the GPS device, we should hit Minneapolis around 8:30pm. It feels good to hit the open road, I needed a break, and fetching an 18 foot Burmese Python is a fair enough challenge to compel me to make a break for Minnesota! Time to let the Allman Brothers loose on my speakers for a bit, more info to come later...
