Life is Cool in Peru, Illinois
Teri and I rolled out of Dexter about 1230 pm. We went to church this morning and hung around for a while telling our family and friends goodbye. Ran home, changed clothes, and hit the road. Maybe you rode with us via the tracker. It was a good ride. Jumped off I-57 At Salem and took a real back road over to 51 north. 51 is a great scenic road heading north in Illinois. I love it. About the time we jumped off I-57 we decided it was time to cut the air conditioner on. The temp was hovering around 100 outside but we had just come out of a nice shower where the temps had dropped to about 80. Those floor vents in the GMC are great. Once we are rolling the air just blasts into the cab. Ran the air for about 3 hours and the temp dropped back down to about 80. We were just north of Decatur I think. Had planned to stay over night there but it was so early that we just kept rolling north and landed here in Peru. We are sitting here watching tv and reading. The roof vent is on and blowing very cool air in. Just what we had hoped for. The temperature is about 70 outside now but will drop closer to 60 during the night. I am sure the fan will go off after we go to bed.Ok, thats about it. HAve 130 or so miles to run tomorrow. Will not be in any hurry. Going to dodge the toll booth at Rockford and take the back roads into Madison. Ride along if you have time.
Dan and Teri
