After I finished up in Chicago I picked up a Penske truck and drove from Chicago to Kalamazoo, MI. The goal was to pick up a load of furniture from a storage unit and drive it back to Texas. I hired Two Men And A Truck to help me load. They were awesome. I've used them in the past for other jobs and I am always impressed by the quality of their work.
After we finished loading the truck I hit the road. The total trip was about 1000 miles, so my goal was to drive 500 that day and the balance the next day. This is the fourth time I have done this run and I remember each time how boring i55 south is. Miles of nothing.
I am always excited to see the arches in St. Louis. It means the end of i55 and the start of my westward trip to Oklahoma.
I arrived at my 500 mile mark and looked for the first hotel. Checked into a Red Roof Inn and then walked to a local resturant. Selected Aussie Jack's. The food was average at best, but the beer was good!
Arrived home the next day around 5 pm to a very excited family. Was able to get a good nights sleep. Today we unload the truck.
