As I said to my Mom when she called midday, today's driving can be summed up as being, "Smooth as a baby's bottom."
We ran into one accident that slowed us down, but only for a few extra minutes.
Mostly this is the kind of stuff we saw all day:
Tinkerbell is thoroughly enjoying the road trip.
Part of the reason may be because she has two of us spoiling her. Here's Jeannie holding her while I run into the truck stop.
Our biggest challenge is that neither of us are fond of fast food and choose not to eat it, however, it has been impossible to avoid this trip since with a dog, we have to eat what we can grab quickly. Subway is our favorite, but not always available.
We both ate at Sonic for the first time today. I have to say their salad was actually good and I'd eat it again over the nasty Burger King chicken sandwich I had yesterday. I also really liked the cherry limeade I ordered which tasted divine in the 101 degree humid heat. It probably contained more sugar than a cookie, but it was tasty.
Tonight we're in the Quality Inn in Salina. Aside from having to move rooms in order to get high speed Internet, it is a decent place to crash. As Jeannie said, "The beds are more comfortable than last night's."
And, it's a plus that this room isn't haunted, like last night's as well. (Sorry, I'm too tired to share that story tonight!)

Okay - so you will have to share the haunted room story. I have a couple of my own and enjoy reading those of others :)

Only you would find the haunted room. :> Glad to know you made Salina in good form. Hugs to you and to Tink. *waves at Jeannie* I'd send a hug her way too, but she doesn't know me. Ha! We're home from our road trip, so we're no longer "fellow roadsters" but we did wave at the "old" house as we drove by the exit today. Wow on all the adventures in tires and circuits. Hope tomorrow is smooth as a baby's bum in driving land as well!
Meant to say a big Yikes! about that truck crash too. Wow on the pic
Oh, this is too funny, Leah ... I am traveling across county, too! From California to Florida, with a detour for a family vacation in Illinois! I had a few hiccups as well, mostly with my dog! If/when you have time, check it out here: www.jessicaguthrie.blogspot.com. Drive safe!
Love the Pink Purse!
