Old school ads in Findlay, OHI left Fostoria at 4pm on Tuesday to avoid that nice little storm that hit the Midwest. I headed south towards Cincinnati to gain some warmer temperatures; from there, it was on to Louisville. I headed south and west from Louisville through western Kentucky and Tennessee, crossed the Mighty Mississippi at I-155 and finally stopped at a rest area on I-55 in Arkansas for a 2.5 hour nap after 11.5 hours of driving. It was dark during this stretch with a lot of rain and high winds, so no pics. After my nap, I dropped south to I-40 and then to Plano, TX, via Little Rock and Texarkana. Another 9.5 hours of driving and I was exhausted when I reached Dave and Kathryn's in Plano.
After another 2.5 hour nap, I was treated to Jameson & Coke and hummus with sliced cucumber, carrot sticks and bread chips. I was then treated to one of the finest New York Strip steaks I've ever eaten. Tender and juicy and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Grilled asparagus and a baked potato were also included. The night ended with copious amounts of red wine. Many thanks to Dave and Kathryn for their Texas hospitality.
On Thursday morning, I headed southwest to Las Cruces, NM, via Abilene and El Paso, TX. After a night at the luxurious Motel 6, I'll head to Phoenix and arrive there on Friday afternoon.
