mission travel day 3

The operative word for the days travel would be long.  We drove from Altoona, Iowa to Wickliffe, OH (just east of Cleveland) over 750 miles, 12 hours of driving. We saw some great looking farm land very green with loads of freshly planted fields, just beautiful.  Over population is still not a problem out here.  We encounter one little problem however, the GPS unit worked great, too great.  Just south of Chicago it started to take us off the freeway to back roads, half way through the detour I realized the unit was avoiding toll roads for some preprogramed reason.  Once that got corrected we got back on course for the rest of the day.  It was mostly overcast for the day a very little bit of rain.  Our day was very peaceful and relaxing, but a little too quiet.  Love you all and miss you.   Mom and Dad

Well you should make it to your mission today. Only about 400 miles to Watertown. Assuming your GPS doesn't lead you astray again. Are you going directly to Watertown or are you spending a few days in the mission home? Good luck and I bet you can't wait to get started.

You show that GPS what it is! Who's the boss in that vehicle anyways! Be sure to be safe and take a minute to see a church site or something. God Speed! But not too fast.
