At a WI rest stop, happily picnicing after bypassing fast food road food. But I need ice. Soon.

Headed west in IN on 90. Hope to get to SD today. Feeling pretty good.

Safe and sound in Elkhart, Indiana. Watching the weather channel with horror.

Seems strange to be in Cleveland, my home of the 80s ywics in one summer.

In PA now, headed for OH and a short detour to get some organic food and snacks for the trip. In a good mood and not really tired.

I have an Obama sticker on my car. At a rest stop, a guy shouts to me: "go big O". I smile.

Back on the road. Headed west - but it's raining. Bummer.

Taking a rest for the night in Apalachin NY, off of W-17. Tomorrow: rest of NY, PA (for a very brief bit), OH, and maybe IN.

Driving west through NY on 88. Listening to Nina Simone. Content for now.

Starting the day off at a good friends place - first day of the drive west.
