Cleavland Cracker Barrel

470 miles today, with the loss of one hour in the time change. Made my planned on the road by 7:30am this morning. What was I thinking that coming right through downtown Chicago on the Ryan Expressway on a Saturday morning at 9:30 would be a breeze....it wasn't. But really wasn't too bad either, if you don't mind stop and go or crawling for maybe 10 miles....Kind of reminds me of my same thought process on going thru Atlanta on a weekend. I travel a lot of cities, but try to avoid both those places if I can. I'll pick a different route later this month going home, Probably somewhere south of Chicago...and around it to pick up I39. Otherwise a pretty boring drive. Had the winds on my tail for a change, so that helped push the F150 mileage up to 11.3mpg. 350 miles to go tomorrow, to get to Pirates Cove Marina in Clay, NY, where we'll launch. Boaterhoming at a Cracker Barrel in Cleveland tonight.Read more
