So we decided to leave a day early, April 24, 2015. We're leaving from Toledo, Ohio which makes the mileage around 4300. Let the adventure begin!
After drinking many cups of coffee in anticipation for this trip the first stop is a pit stop in Indiana. The more coffee we drink, the less tired we'll be which means more miles in a day. Easy math right? Wrong! The more coffee we drink the more we stop the less miles we go. We're learning as we go. Second stop, pit stop in Indiana.
A little warning about traveling Interstate 90, TOLLS! Be prepared to pay. We spent $76.55 in TOLLS!
Another warning, do not go through Chicago at 5:00 pm on a Friday! Estimated time to get through Chicago at 5:00 pm on a Friday, 1 hour and 50 minutes to drive 40 miles. Take a book!
We finally stopped at a rest area in Minnesota after driving 587 miles. Boondocking tonight. I'll let you know tomorrow how it went.
It was a good day.
