So do I. But Pittsburgh was just an hour or so that went from oh wow to oh god help to phew I made it. As I am typing this and hoping my cell stick doesn't lose signal, I am sitting in a corn field in Illinois picking up gas for the next leg of the trip. Hopefully today sees St Louis, and the Mississippi river.

Goin to Oklahoma following the sun and the stars, in a 1984 Ford Econoline RV.

This here is a genuine Jalopy, never seen anything like it nor would I really be too eager to take one this far from its home after this. I've had to top off oil and coolant every few hundred miles.

It makes 8 miles per gallon with its 8 cylinder carburetor engine, but it sways and bumps something awful if you go over 65 MPH with it. Comfortable cruising speed is only 60 MPH.
