Today 37.79 miles, This Trip 381.5. Total 1,381.51
Not many miles or much to talk about today. After last night's storms we waited for awhile this morning to leave. Once we got in the road the early miles were easy. It was overcast, not much of a breeze, and pretty flat. We road into Atlanta, Il. One if the spots on the Historic Route 66 tour. We stopped at a local griil for a light snack and drink. The waitress had a 1950's uniform and the soda fountain was open. The wItress was very friendly, especially after we told her a little about our ride. She told us the people who had left just as we came in were from Australia. They were driving a 1957 Chevy all reconditioned. The waitress thought they had bought it in L.A. And were driving tonChicago. She said some other people from Australia had stopped last week. They had bought motorcycles in LA and were going to ship them back to Australia to sell. They figured they would make enough to cover their vacation expenses. The town was really making the best of promoting themselves around Route 66. She said a bus company has 21 stops booked with them over the summer. As we were leaving we saw another man from Switzerland. He had a 1965 Mustang and was also driving across country. Sounds like a fun next trip in either an old custom car or motorcycle. Anyone want to join us?
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We got into quite a bit of traffic, which added some stress to the last hour and a half. We got to our evening's stop at 2:30 and are taking advantage of some time to rest. We are looking at our route and fine tuning our last four days.
Thanks for staying tuned.
Prayers and Peace,
Mary Kay and Jack
