This week was crazy. It was a complete mad rush to try to get everything taken care of in time. Especially the whole "ups wouldn't deliver my tent without a signature" experience.
We left just after 5am on Friday - Ive been sleeping horribly lately due to too much coffee in order to get everythig done. Oh well. Let us get this snow on the road.

Stopped at a truck stop for lunch. Lamar latrelle's (from revenge of the nerds) truck stop, I can only assume. Truck stops are great because of the wide variety of items that they have there for sale. I like to assume that only truckers are allowed to buy the things sold here:
(in the event of an absolute desire to celebrate Halloween immediately)
(Underwear emergency!!????)
After that, we drove. And drove some more. The first phase in the plan of the trip is try to get out west as fast as possible. Yes, this will mean missing out on some interesting roadside attractions... For now.
If the south is the land of Jesus, then the Midwest is the land of steaks. Every 10 miles there is a giant billboard tempting you to eat a giagantic steak. For 11.99, why not? There is also a restaurant called "steak and shake" which honestly just sounds like a steak milkshake. Plenty of sonics
Out here too; which I am sure the locals take completely for granted.
After dinner, and going to dublin, oh to be be bombarded with the largest collection of strip malls that I have ever seen, we stopped to stay with my friend Hannah who lives in yellow springs. And there is a raptor center on the premesis. And by raptors, I mean birds. We got a tour of the place and got to see barn owls, vultures and a one winged bald eagle.
Following a campfire and some marshed mallows, we went to bed. Up by 7am is the plan. Oh sounds awesome.
Location:Day one of fun
