On the road to Chicago

From start to finish, 824.2 miles. I made 4 stops, to fill up on the gasoline, some food and other things you do when you stop while traveling ;-) Each stop was about 15-20 minutes long, or short. All in all it was an interesting drive. East coast is densely populated and it shows on the roads.

Here is the list of some interesting things I have seen, or that happened on the road to Chicago:
- I hit 14 construction sites on route 80. One on entrance to Ohio Turnpike was parking lot for about 30 minutes. Dead stop. It gave me chance to turn on my CB radio and listen in to the truckers talk about what is the problem. They also mentioned four-wheelers many times, and never in a nice way :( It turned out that 3 trucks blocked off lanes across to prevent four-wheelers from squeezing through.
- I noticed only 15 roadkills which is remarkable for such a dense traffic.
- 9 highway patrolmen spotted, with 4 cars pulled over. At one point I spotted 3 HPs together. Apparently, one broke down and other two were protecting it.
- My dad called to wish me safe trip. Nice, very nice.
- Interesting truck pulling other 3 trucks, see picture attached.

My cousins, Aidan and Katarina gave me before I left, a toy each to take along with me on the road. Aidan, gave me one of his "guys" and Katarina gave me a little red-head doll. You will see them many times during this trip. Let me know if you have any funny suggestions on taking pictures with them, and keep it clean, kids will be reading and watching this :)

As you can see I am keeping track of cops, pull-overs, roadkills and construction sites. What else could I track during this trip? By the way, mosquitoes and any other kind of insect hitting my windshield counting, is right out.
