Trivia or interesting facts from today's travels:
The trip started at 12:30 am from Chattanooga on Sat morning.
It was a really long day, I drove 19 1/2 hours. It was fairly boring, the first thing of any excitement was trying to navigate through a National Guard convoy in Oklahoma. The longer the day went on the slower the miles went by. We stopped almost 300 miles short of original planning. Back to the drawing board.
