On the Road Again

Ellyn walks Jordy in the rain.
On Tuesday, May 15th, we left Foxboro, MA and started our long, summer journey towards Alaska. Our first goal is Romeoville, IL to meet up with Ken and Martha. Day 1 took us to Bellefonte, PA, a leg of about 450 miles. It was a rainy day most of the way, and was warm and humid. We made our usual stops for Jordy's walks and to stretch our own legs, and for meals. No fuel stops the first day, as we started with 3/4 of a tank.

Day 2 took us another 415 miles west to Fremont, IL. We probably should have gone further, but we forgot that we would lose an hour going into Illinois. From here we have about 4 hours to go to Ken and Martha's. Then we will have a two day layover until we head out on the next leg caravaning with our friends. However, Geoff will have a couple of repair jobs to do. The bumpy roads of Pennsylvania and Ohio broke the hinge on our fold-out table and knocked down the window shade near the driver seat.
