So we began our journey home to Michigan yesterday. Ran into some snow at higher elevations, but roads clear.
Stopped at the Petrified National Park and explored the sites there. Made it to Gallup, N.M. Stayed at El Rancho on route 66, had a nice dinner there.
Day 2 of return journey:
6 am start out of Gallup, n.m.18 degrees. Frost on the car. Drove 11 hours. Ran into some spot ty thick fog while still on the mountains. Took a brunch stop in Tucumcan. This was a run down ghost town affected by the route 66 neglect. Made it to Wichita, KS. Stayed next to the Cessna,Beechcraft plant.
While Lynn and I were getting a morning workout in, I noticed Romain Grosjean behind me. Chatted with him for a bit. He was there to get training in his Beechcraft Premier. A small jet.
3RD day of return journey:
IT'S A GREAT DAY IN AMERICA!!!!
7 hour day of driving from Wichita to Springfield, Illinois. Getting a little dark with these time changes and shorter days. Great day to focus on post election day podcasts in the car.
Grateful and blessed for beautiful weather.
