We arrived back home in Missouri about 8:30 PM. Traffic was no problem. Roads appeared to be a little wet the last mile or so.
It is a LONG drive. I only drove about 240 miles of the 580 miles. It seemed nearly as long as when I drove the motor home to TN a few weeks ago. I think we left about 10:30 AM. We stopped twice for gas, once at Demo's for lunch (in Lebanon, TN) and another time to stretch our legs and empty our bladders. I reset the fuel mileage indicator on the CR-V when I filled up the first time. It read 27.1 when we arrived home. We drove 5-8 mph above the speed limit most of the way, 75-78 mph except in Illinois where the speed limit is only 65. My guess is that if we did a fuel mileage calculation we probably only got around 25, but that isn't bad for the speeds we were driving.
Every thing was fine here. There is a light dusting of snow on my truck but no significant snow on the ground. It looks like we are going to get some additional moisture over the next several days but not much, if any, of it will be in the form of snow. I don't think Andy put more wood in the wood furnace after last Sunday afternoon. There were still enough coals in it started fine after I added wood. The house was 55 degrees, which is what Kathy had set the thermostat at when she left.
