Day 1: Road Warriors

Miles: 1,018

Start: Queens, New York
End: St. Louis, Missouri

Time: 18+ hours (includes 2 gas stops, 2 pee/coffee stops, lunch and dinner)

Gas: ~2.75 tanks ($200+)

Marital Spats: 2ish

Highlights: We saw the aftermath of a semi accident which resulted in a bunch of flat screen TVs strewn across I-80. A trucker waved at me and I waved back. Sam ate a giant burger in Columbus with impressive speed.

We drove like crazy today so we can stay put tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be craptastc with major storms and hail which is why we hauled ass to St. Louis today. Not the kind of weather anybody wants to drive in, especially with your four babies/bikes in the bed of the truck!

On tap tomorrow is sleeping in, the arch, tour the annheiser bush brewery and hopefully a cardinals game if the weather allows. On Saturday we head for Oklahoma City.

More soon!

What was the name of the burger place in Columbus? Did you remember to wave?
