Centaur Hauls
Last night I started loading the car and was wondering how much of the stuff I planned on taking would fit. As loading progressed, the outlook looked better. Freezing a few water bottles so that the ice taking up space in the cooler(s) would be water I can drink helped quite a bit, I discovered this morning. The trunk was almost full.
A stop in Ames, IA showed that the word about the Hy-Vee there having birch beer was right. A few bottles later and the trunk pretty much was full. I did pack things right, though, as was just discovered.
I'm in Kansas City, MO now and I arrived a few hours ago. I'll be staying the night and then three of us will be heading out early on our way to RCFM. This is the house of the guy with all the sound gear RCFM uses. A couple other vehicles are not yet loaded and there's quite a bit to load. But first some work must be done to get the vehicles ready. My toolkit is being put to use. Fortunately I thought ahead to make it very accessible and I didn't need to unload half the trunk to get to it.
Today was a pretty good day for travel and the trip so far has been nicely uneventful, at least for me. I did give a lift to a couple who had run out of gas, so the day was more eventful for someone.
