Underway

   I got up a bit early today to start out on a positive note; Mary's breakfast was the perfect send off. Toby came out to wish me a good trip too.

   I took the Pa Turnpike to the west end and merged into I-80 W in Ohio. Traffic and the roads were better than I expected and I managed to make it all the way to Chicago by dinnertime. No surprise there wasn't any scenery to admire from today so I don't have any along the road pictures to share.

   Dinner tonight was at a Fridays and included a local lager called Goose Island Honker Ale.

   Tomorrow I'll drive north along Lake Michigan toward Green Bay. From there I'll veer west through Minnesota and see if I can make it to North Dakota.
