Central Illinois, LaFayette, 75, Kennesaw, Milledgeville. SUCCESS!

We departed from Milwaukee, and drove to central Illinois to spend the night with our chauffer, Ginny's, birthmother. It was a slice of Americana; farm house, surrounded by fields of corn, waking to a breakfast of bacon, egs, toast, and sliced tomato. After breakfast, and a bit of lounging about, we took of for Georgia. Rain was our travel companion. We arrived in LaFayette, GA around 11pm, and ended up sleeping in the car, directly next to a big festival pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
Ginny drove us to Hwy. 75 in the morning, and we bid our adieus. We began to hitch, but that lasted for about 3 minutes, as we got picked up almost immediately. Oddly enough, David, the guy that picked us up, was driving to Atlanta from LaFayette. Odder than that, is that he was staying about 100 yards from us, at the festival.
We arrived in Kennesaw and we stayed with Troll, whom I hadn't seen for 3 years. We caught up, and hung out, having a genuinely great time.
One Mr. Eyal Shay picked us up from Kennesaw, and drove us to Salamander Springs, where the next 2 months were (and are currently) being spent.

All the Way

So, our journey just became a little easier, as we got a ride from Milwaukee all the way to our destination in Georgia. Thank you CraigsList. I am pleased.

Bemidji to Minneapolis to Milwaukee Talkie Over and Out

Driving the ol' Time Chamber (aka, 1994 Buick Park Avenue) from a quite rainy Bemidji to Minneapolis, just in time to park it for the last time, catch a lift to MOA (thanks Andrew), and from there meeting up with our new rideshare pal, Angie. This was Monday the 28th, and we are currently basking in the breezy 'burbs of Riverwest, Milwaukee. A few more days we shall again be off, to warmer, more southernly digs at Salamander Springs in Georgia.

Until then, fare-thee-well all.
