April 2024 Road Trip, Day 3

4 April 2024 This was a quiet day, mostly hanging around the hotel I did go out to a shoe store and took a roundabout drive on the way back along the Scioto River that is very full and muddy-brown …

April 2024 Road Trip, Day 2

3 April 2024 Today’s weather was even less good than yesterday for much of the day — the temperature averaged 5ºF lower, dipping to 40 at one point, and I spent more than half the day in heavy traffic and …

April 2024 Road Trip, Day 1

2 April 2024 It’s an exciting day as this was the first day of my first road trip in the EV. The weather is far from ideal — temps are in the upper 40s and I drove half the afternoon …

Changing It Up a Bit

Summer Trip 2023 Day 27

Summer Trip 2023 Day 24

6 July 2023 Today involved skirting Lake Michigan to get from Madison WI to Grand Rapids MI, and Chicago gets in the middle of that fun. The total drive was 394 miles. I do love Chicago, but not driving through …
