Late start today, spent the morning chatting with some folks while I stuffed down the wonderful continental breakfast at the Econolodge. Asked Alice about an easy way back to 50 and ended up exiting town on a great back road that lead to 50 east of town. 50 was a fantastic concrete surface with a
I had no idea what the weather was gong to be this morning. According to the weather forecasters last night, I thought the morning would probably be a washout with a late morning departure.
