Yay! We are almost to Missouri! And that means we are almost to Peoria, Illinois!
Moby Dick, our great white truck, is doing fine! Because it is an ’89, and because it is new to us, we decided to play it safe and drive 55 MPH (better for fuel efficiency too) for the entire trip. These days, even the semi trucks (most of them anyway) are going 70/75 MPH.
Speaking of Moby Dick, Mark’s great aunt, Evabeth, traced the family tree back to Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick!
