June 23rd – Down Day

Traveling is exhausting and we need to have a break every once and a while. Today is one of those days. We spent the morning preparing our itinerary for the next two weeks. Selecting the places we want to see, making sure we don’t drive too many miles each day, and choosing places we wish to stop for each night. The next two-week are going to be busy. We both are thankful we have a laptop and software for trip planning. It saves so much time and allows many alternatives to be evaluated.

The drizzle and light rain started early today and continued most of the day. The sun was only out for a few minutes. Even the wind picked up more than it had for the past few days. We selected our down day well.

Tomorrow, we turn west and start the forth and final leg of our trip. We have been traveling for almost 3-months and have covered 8521 miles according to the odometer. The GPS shows we’ve covered 8995 miles. Our readings on measured miles confirm that the odometer reads almost 5% low. I think the GPS reading is the most accurate.
