Day 7: Damn, it’s hot.

Posted on 29 August 2008 by Jason

After clearing the cobwebs with a coffee from Northwest, Marie and I set out for Connelly’s Goody Goody Diner, a St. Louis institution for over 60 years, for breakfast. It bodes well for a place when it’s packed for breakfast … Continue reading →

Posted on 21 August 2008 by Jason

The weather was more Indiana-in-August-like than it had been in weeks, the kind of weather in which no matter how high the A/C is set, you’re still clammy. I didn’t get as early a start today as I’d have liked, … Continue reading →

Let’s get social, shall we?

Posted on 21 August 2008 by Jason

I mentioned earlier that I’m using a Dash Express GPS on the trip. One of the coolest features is Send2Car, which allows me (or anyone who knows my username) to send me an address. If there’s somewhere on the trip … Continue reading →
