Day 2, a very long day



Day two of the trip started early. Day 1 we made it as far as Salado Texas before we stopped for the night at a Super 8. Jon and I switched as drivers every tank of gas, pretty much driving for the entire day. We both really started to get a feel for the car, and it is a fantastic driver, easily going 70-75 smoothly, handling well. I am happy to say that as opposed to Day 1, Day 2 was quite uneventful. There were thoughts of driving through the night to get home, but we decided at about 10PM that we should call it a night. We ended up at a Motel 6 in Des Moines Iowa after logging nearly 900 miles, and we were exhausted. We went out to eat at Champs and were lucky enough to witness a Hawkeye win, while in a bar restaurant in Iowa. Hawkeye fans are truly unique.
