Great Day For A Drive

Oh yes, life is good. Teri and I rolled out of Dexter after the final Amen Sunday morning. Check out the mileage on the car. If you click the photo up you can see that we are doing 70 mph, have traveled almost 200 miles, and we are averaging 53.1 mpg. That is great in my book.

In this fuzzy photo we were averaging 53.6 mpg I believe. When we hit I-70 the wind hit us and the mileage dropped a little but we still averaged 53.5 all the way to Muncie, In. that was over 400 miles. I calculated it when I filled up. Actually came to 52.6, but that ain't nothing to sneeze at. We are happy with our choice. The Prius C is a little shorter than our Vibe but same width and amount of room up front. I drove the speed limit to get this mileage, give or take a couple of mph.

Must have been some big car gathering over in Ky or In. When I-64 merged with 57 we started seeing these. Had seen 3 nice hotrods headed west on 60 in Missouri also.


Semi trucks everywhere. Someone is making money somewhere.

Rolling through downtown Indy.

Our host for the evening. Mr. Joe. What a great friend. He is a guy everyone wants to have as a friend. We slept at his place in Muncie for about 5 hours before heading back to Indy for the FMCA meeting. We had a great meal together and visited til bedtime, midnight, and for an hour before we departed, 6 am. Thanks Joe. Please come see us.

Our pay for representing GMC motorhome clubs at the National FMCA convention, ha.

I felt real important being a part of this group.

Also felt really safe. Check out the security. Teri and I were the youngest folks here. Average age was something over 71, I believe they said.

It was raining Monday in Indianapolis. Here is the shuttle to carry folks around the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

A look at the stage with lots of big rigs parked in a muddy place. I am sure everything is dried out by now. Rain was over by noon.

Our good friend John with his back to the camera. John always has a smile on his face. Wee enjoy his company at most every motorhome gathering we attend. These guys tend to "flock" to Teri. Hmm, don't know why.

GMC motorhome friends from NC and Tx.

3 pm the meeting adjourned. We hit I-69 and in no time we were here.

Let Teri hold my camera while I went into the rest area. Look what I found she had done with it.
Ok, life is good. We are in Romeo, Mi. Arrived here about 930 pm Monday. Was good to get rested up overnight. Have been busy since we left home Sunday morning. Will hang out here with my aunt til Sunday. Will head south after the last Amen. Hope to get more pictures for you to see over the next few days. My dad's oldest sister will turn 93 on Sunday. Would not miss her birthday for the world. She lives alone and has a new car. Such an inspiration to Teri and me.
