Ok – Thursday, May 18th! 10:30am we actually were in the truck an pulled down the driveway! Woo Hoo!!!
We started with a full tank of diesel and a starting odometer reading of 118,450.9. and are spending the night in a Walmart parking lot in Marshall, IL with an ending odometer of 118,744.0. We will fill up with fuel before starting out again tomorrow.
Day was uneventful but lots of beautiful country to see. I drove all day as Dave was extremely tired from working on the lighting issue of yesterday.
Only minor ummmm – issue – was that the trailer was over weight limit when we stopped at CAT Scales in London, Ohio. We evaluated the options and ended up taking some of the bottled water we had packed for the trip out of the trailer and repacking it in the back of the truck. Overweight limit fixed!
So we’re here tonight, tomorrow we’ll start earlier probably and now we’re in Central Time Zone which will probably make it a bit easier for us. But hoping to be in Kansas City by the time we stop tomorrow night.
Trailer and everything are riding well including the ebikes on the back which we had small apprehension about how they would fair on the trip.
More to come tomorrow. Until then, remember to always make memories while you can and don’t forget to keep Rolling!
