The first day from Tellico Village TN to St. Louis Missouri went well for the solo driver Ed Fugit. He took some back roads along the Mississippi River then drove around downtown STL which he reports as quite nice near the Arch- lots of nice restaurants, river tours as well as casinos on the Illinois side. On day 2 Ed drove west across the Show Me State and met his brother, Jim, at the Kansas City airport in the late afternoon. Then they made their way north and over night in Omaha, Nebraska. Ed wants us to know the car is running well getting the usual 20 MPG with the load. “I expect to be in really hot weather next three days- first cool weather will be in Calgary!” Says Ed..
Friday (Day 3) Ed writes: Today the weather has turned nasty- there are heavy thunderstorms rolling over us now at 7AM and we expect to be in the soup a lot of the day. Jim has some great vistas he wants to show me, but no idea if we'll be able to see much. Hope to get to Rapid City SD by tonight- Elmendorf AFB- including a stop at world famous Wall Drugstore. My computer has a problem finding wifi- started yesterday morning- which means I can't log in. Don't know if it is temporary or a hardware glitch. I will check in tomorrow.Ed
