After yesterdays high of 24°C, it was a shock to walk out to the truck at 5°C. It was a damp misty morning with nothing to look forward too other than 500 miles of interstate.
The weather did clear for a while, but then it took a turn for the worse with heavier rain, falling temperatures, then ice pellets and a little snow as we climbed up to 3300ft. The scenery was pretty much the same for the whole trip, fields, fields and more fields. At times we could see no signs of human civilisation around us, including vehicles on the Interstate! The only saving grace was an 80MPH / 130KM/H speed limit. Problem was my fuel consumption increased by about 50% going from 65 to 80MPH.
Given the boring trip, I was convinced my choice of a $38 HoJo motel would haunt me. Wrong!!! This hotel is fantastic, even at double the price, King bed, sofa, superfast internet, pool, hot tubs, FREE beer and wine between 6 and 8PM and free breakfast. By far the best of the cheap hotels we have stayed in on all our travels.
I needed some exercise and fresh air so, despite the weather, I risked a walk to get a local geocache, although Lyn felt her time would be better spent staying in the room.
Time to go find the booze!
