California to Indiana
2617 miles / $1320 fuel = .50 per mile

We arrived this afternoon and we couldn't have asked for better traveling weather. We had a tail wind most of the way and the sun was shining great timing!!! We normally do not travel this fast but, we wanted to drive when the weather was at is best and we did!! Now we can slow down and take our time. After we leave Nappanee we will be going to the Spartan Homecoming in Charlotte, MI June 2


At one time this McDonalds was the largest in the US
It crosses over the Will Rogers Turnpike in OK



This was the scenery for many miles on I 44 in MO

Since we will be traveling right thru tornado alley at the height of tornado season- I will be come a amateur meteorologist- I have all my weather websites book marked, new batteries in the weather radio!! Now, if diesel prices don't get the better of us we plan on having a wonderful summer in the Maritimes!!

Play Ball.........

We took our Grandson Jeff to a Modesto Nuts baseball game. The Nuts are a single A minor league. When we walked thru the gate Jeff was asked if he wanted to start the game tonight by announcing "Play Ball" and I must say he got a huge round of applause from the audience and the cameraman said he was a natural (well of course) he was so excited about that. We all had a great evening. Jeff's face was on the Jumbo Tron so much he got a big kick out of that.
