First stop is Colby, Kansas. Needed gas, an empty bladder and to stretch. I have gone about 290 miles (I think) in 3 plus hours. I baked the first couple of hours and had to cover my legs so I didn't burn but then it clouded over. It started raining about five miles ago and I hate hate hate driving in the rain since our wreck so I was really happy to stop. It doesn't look like it will continue but I will check the weather. I am at McDonald's. not my favorite place to eat but free wifi.
My confidence in Joel's car is growing. The a/c and cruise control work really well. The wipers not so much but I hope I don't need them much. I am a little bored but am alternating between singing at the top of my lungs to my iPod and listening to a book on tape, Tapestry of Fortunes by Elizabeth Berg. It's pretty good. I think the characters are gearing up for a road trip themselves which is fun. More later! Only 1200 more miles and 21 hours to LA!
