Day 41, As It Is Happening, rest stop Indiana , 3pm

Pushing on to Columbus tonight so i can spend a couple of days reflecting in West Virginia. Was planning to visit my lovely ex-wife, Connie, in Indianapolis and then stop off the pay our respects to James Dean, but it will be too dark.

Below photo of a rest stop is as exciting as this last leg of the trip gets for the two of us. Real nice pet area here too. Ironically, rest steps for pets are better and friendlier heading east than west. You go figure.

I will say this, that i am appreciating the sceneds during this drive, especially the vast farms all over. Those good people work hard to feed all of us. God bless them.

Listening to Gotterdamerung. Decided to finally name the Defender, Grane, Brunhilde's great steed. Like Grane, that mighty Defender will take me wherever i want to go. I will have a formal Christening after he returns mended.

The road beckons.
