Rolling again before sun up, heading away from the sun, but it was still shining in my eyes via the mirrors.


Two hours on the road and we stopped at a rest area near New Paris. Then by 11 am eastern, (10 central,) BB was hungry so we stopped at McD's in Crawfordsville. After a couple of hours, I was hungry so we stopped in Bloomington at Taco Bell. From here BB drove while I ate.


We had mis-judged what hour range was and she go nervous before we got to the cheap gas so we stopped and put in one gallon. While we were there, she cleaned out the garbage out of the car and when she was done she couldn't find the car keys. I finally found them in a cup at the bottom of the garbage can. :(


Then we drove four miles and but in cheap gas at a BP in Galesburg. From there it was about another two hours to Waterloo where we stopped at a Arbey's.


We weren't going to make it home on the fuel we had so we stopped at the Pilot in Clear Lake, the gas is cheaper there than anything we will find in MN. Car is due back by 9:15. Guess we had rented it for three days, but will return it a day early.


Got to Forest City about 7 pm, staying at the Super 8. Rates went up $20 from the time we first looked online until we made our reservation.


Plans? Nothing good was added to the board today. Mid-day they were adding a bunch of stuff out of Indiana, but we would have had to make a quick decision without doing our math so we passed. Hoping work shows up so we can head right back out. Kind of jumped the gun by heading back. The board dropped from 70 to 10 units in two days. We did look at a trip to Seattle, but between high costs and bad weather we opted not to take them.


Lots of time crunching numbers and second guessing today ...
