It took two days, covered nearly a thousand miles, and included both a car and a rental truck. It was exhausting, but hey, we learned some things along the way:- Once you cross the Ohio River, the bodies of water get exponentially larger. Seriously, I don't think we crossed anything smaller than the Chattahoochee River.
- August is "Road Work Season" in the Midwest. On every single Interstate we used, we got stuck in some sort of traffic.
- Iowa Public Radio really stinks. For the love of Robert Siegel and all of us stuck in our cars, play something other than classical music!
- There is way too much corn in this country. Once you leave Kentucky, it's corn as far as the elephant's eye can see.
- Cruise control (and fuel efficiency and CD players) are undervalued commodities in the rental truck industry.
- You only have to travel three miles into Minnesota before you find your first Lutheran church.
- County fair week is not the time to move into a small town.
And so, of course, Suzanne loved the trip so much that after she unpacked, she flew back to Atlanta just to do the drive all over again.
