640 miles today. I started out in Lexington, and drove straight through to Rockford, my current pit stop for the weekend. I took a slight detour in Davenport to stop at the Delt house near Palmer College and say hi to everyone there.
Driving through Iowa was quite an experience. Everywhere I looked there was this familiarity, and at first I couldn’t place it. A little later I realized that it all looks like it was the real life location for a Calvin & Hobbes strip. Absolutely beautiful.
I’m really burnt out on thinking, and as if to reflect this, my camera ran out of power. And of course I didn’t bring the charger. I did manage to take some shots, but I will have to wait until I can find a new charger or a new battery before I can pull them off.
For now, I look forward to visiting Chicago for the first time. I am looking forward to this.
