Today was another moving day. It's not far from Muscatine to Indianapolis, but we wanted to allow time for a late start and a visit with my sister Kathy in Davenport.
We got somewhat of a late start (it seems to be getting harder to get up in the morning) ate breakfast at the hotel (Muscatine Holiday Inn -- we do not recommend it) and hit the road. We arrived at Kathy's before 11:00 and had a nice visit with her and John.
From Davenport we go on I-74 and headed to Indianapolis. It was an uneventful trip, so there is not much to say. We crossed the Mississippi River for the first time since July 11. We entered the Eastern time zone and arrived at our hotel (actually in Brownsburg) about 5:30 EDT. We ate at a little bar and grill nearby and had fun with the bartender / waiter. We stopped for a fill up paying the least amount for a gallon of premium ($2.899) that we have paid on the entire trip. We had heard that the price of gas has fallen in the last couple of weeks, but it was hard to tell out in Montana, Wyoming, etc.
So now we are just taking it easy and celebrating our 39th anniversary. I must admit that the 4 1/2 hour drive was about all I felt like doing today. It is kind of like those marathons I ran: The closer I got to the end the run intervals became shorter and the walk intervals became longer. We are definitely ready to get home.
Tomorrow night we will be in Wheeling, WV which is about half way between here and home.
