This will be my first attempt at a trip log.
Day One
We left Lexington about two hours later than our goal, which is typical for a morning departure for us. I kept thinking of work related things to take care of, and one thing led to another as it often does. We finally were able to escape at about ten AM and headed north on I-75. Stopped for a quick lunch about 33 miles northeast of Cincinnati at a rest area. Our route takes us through Columbus, Ohio and then east on I-70 to the Penn tpke, to I-81, I-78, I-95 to Connecticut.
Clinton is a quaint little town on the shoreline about a half hour east of New Haven. The purpose of our week-long trip is to visit my brother-in-law who recently developed heart trouble.
We're also scheduling a little vacation/sightseeing time, and hope to try out our new camera. Stay tuned for some photos in the nextfew days.
We drove about 475 miles today, which is more than I felt like driving, but not as far as we'd hoped to get. We've stopped for a few hours sleep at a service plaza on I-70, and willcontinue the drive tomorrow, with a scheduled arrival time of around 3 PM.
Much of I-70 in Pennsylvania has been re-constructed, at least thus far. The ride quality is much improved over the conditions in May 2010, when we were through here last. Several sections remain under construction as well.
