        What a wonderful sleep we had last night. So quiet here and a very cool night, great for sleeping. Up at 5 am and was 48f inside (34f outside) so just fired up our Mr Heater and furnace for a few minutes. Temp to about 70f in 15 minutes, shut down the furnace and Mr Heater sips at the propane and maintains the temperature very nicely.
        After coffees and computing, the sun came up and enjoyed a few walkabouts checking out at the trucks here.
        Then when Suzie ready we hopped on the road about 8 am through Toledo OH, past Elkhart and Goshen Indiana (been there before) slipped around Chicago (no slow downs). And was such a great travel day. No wind, no rain, no snow,very little traffic, plus we gained an hour heading into the central time zone, We ended clocking on 406  miles today, Nothing we need to see in this area right now (have seen a lot of it years ago) and heading further west on a more northern than usual route late in the season, we will keep going until we hit lower elevations and or further south.

very little traffic all day long
a wonderful drive

the blue road was ours

Indiana, that's obvious

     Saw quite a few of these triple trailers below all day long and not just UPS ones either, that is a long train.

          Got to the Flying J, In Davenport Iowa, fuelled up our coach only $2.00 a gallon with our Good Sam card discount. Not as good as Ohio but still not too bad at all.
