The days are kind of blurring together a bit. Here are some observations from the past two days.
- Field of Dreams was okay, but I don't know it was worth the side trip. Still, it was cool to see the place where the movie was made.
- We dodged some rain drops in Minnesota, and we haven't had a rain problem yet.
- When we plotted this trip, we decided to not go through Chicago on this part of the trip, as we would be going through there several times during the trip. So we decided to do the scenic trip. Here's an important thing to remember - don't plan on taking the scenic route at night. It looked a lot like rural Mississippi in the middle of the night, only with more trees. Lots of small towns to slow down for in Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. I was very glad to see the freeway.
- We got our second extra inning game tonight. And I could have told Detroit fans what a lot of Houston Astro fans know - the word "Valverde" means "blown save" in Spanish. He didn't blow the save tonight, but giving up 6 earned runs in the top of the 10th inning is never a good thing.
- So we are staying in downtown Detroit tonight. It will feel good to be off the road for a full night.
- I don't have as many cute observations tonight as I did earlier. I guess being in Detroit takes some of my good humor away. Not exactly an uplifting community, although the downtown area itself is okay.
- Our state count is up to 13 different states.
That takes care of tonight's blog entry from the old man of the group. I will pick this up again sometime over the weekend.
