We got up early this morning; said our goodbyes, and were on the road by 7 a.m.
We encountered heavy fog in Iowa, along with occasional black ice and temperatures in the mid-teens. We had decent weather for driving in Missouri, but then had rain changing to snow back and forth through Kansas and Oklahoma. We pulled into a cheap dog-friendly motel in Edmond, Oklahoma, putting in a ten hour, 655 mile day.
After unloading our gear, we went out for brisket and a local IPA.
It's time for a road trip. This winter has been grey and cold--without any redeeming qualities, such as snow to play in. Time to blow this Popsicle stand. The bags are packed. The neighbors are watching the abode with automatic weapons. Time to roll south. First stop will be Iowa, but it will definitely get more exciting than that.
