Made it through NH, MA, NY, PA, OH, IN, IL, and now resting for the night in Iowa.
Saw a giant Brownell's sign about 50 miles east of Des Moines. 
Driving a U-Haul, so far paid $133 in tolls and $620 for gas. The worst tolls were in NY - cost $68.80. Cheapest was IL - $1.70 Should be there Fri night or Saturday. |
Watch your speed in the flat states and along those long and boring highways. I helped my friend drive his car back from the Chicago area and he just couldn't keep his lead foot off the pedal even where the speed limit was 75mph. He got a nice $200 ticket. I kept it within 5mph of the limit and was fine the whole way to Irvine.

It's packed with everything we own and pulling a 2,000 lb car hauler with a 2,800 lb car on it. It sucks up a lot of gas though, about 9 MPG. |

I don't have the address in front of me right now, but we'll be near RC High School on the north side of the 210, a little east of Los Osos. Did any of your kids know Nick Hurtado? He'd be about your daughter's age, passed away in an ATV accident in 2008. |
