Grounded

Made a pit stop. Turned off the lights, and surprise, the trailer would not light up when we got back from the restroom. Change of plans, we are not driving into the dark anymore. In the am, we will find a new part that Michaela is convinced will be the fix and end our headache. Cross your fingers.

This afternoon I drove through Indiana. I LOVE INDIANA! It is beautiful. Manicured farms that went on for ever. Beautiful barns. Oh, an observation. ... I have noticed Lilac blooming in every state we have been through so far! True story.

Today, we had 90 degree temps most the day, just wonderful. Than came the humidity, and you know what comes after that? You guessed it! The most nasty rain, hail, thunder, lightening, and wind storm I have ever attempted to drive through. In hind sight, I should have stopped like most the cars we passed did along the side of the road. Not too smart on my part. But, I was so irritated by the amount of time lost trying to get through Chicago. Well, the rest is history. Poor truck, I don't think there is any more wax on it.

I also wanted to mention that this truck pulls this trailer like it isn't even there. Very cool, but than try looking in the rear view mirror, yikes!
