Lynn and I left Plymouth at 6am Thursday morning. Drove an 11.5 hour day, 827miles. Made it to Topeka, Kansas. Took 94 to 35. Beautiful weather and route. Stopped for gas x2. Making use of all available" luggage" compartments!
 
Looking forward to seeing you both.
 
I’ve seen how you pack, Mark. My wife thinks it’s just cruel that you only let Lynnette take two pairs of shoes!

Do us a favor and fly next time. We don't need to read this kind of stuff.

Why fly when you can drive. Look for an update on our Colorado segment and you you understand why.

This is dedicated to Frank Pikul.
Left Colorado Springs at 8am. Drove a 6 hour day through winding roads with varied elevations and beautiful scenery.
Arrived in Telluride 2pm.
Driving time is a little shorter each day as we get closer to our Arizona destination.
