We Made It!
Independence, MO. The birthplace of Harry Truman. The buck stops here, and so do our cars.
We're outside the city's courthouse (thankfully not in it, considering the occasional parking or speeding ticket), preparing for this evening's broadcast, where Nancy and I will wrap up the trip from Main Street.
We've gone a combined total of 3,517 miles in the last five days. The cars have taken a pounding, and so have our bodies. None of us have exercised in a week, we've eaten way too much junk food, and gotten way too little sleep.
But there's not much I'd do over. Our team enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime drive, from the ocean to the mountains to the prairies, and met an extraordinary range of people, all of whom are dealing with sky-high rise gas prices in different ways.
