Thursday morning we left the Horse Motel about 10 am. It seems to consistently take about 2.5 hours to get on our way in the morning. I get up around 7:30, start the coffee pot, get dressed and get out breakfast items. Janet gets up around 8:00 and we have breakfast, and drink a couple of cups of coffee while browsing our iPads. Then Janet usually cleans up breakfast dishes while I start disconnecting the hookups and emptying the tanks. You’d think all that wouldn’t take more than an hour and a half, but somehow it does. Maybe we could trim the time spent lingering over coffee but it probably wouldn’t gain more than a half hour, and we both enjoy a relaxed morning before hitting the road so I think we have to accept that we need 2.5 hours before we’re ready to go.
We didn’t have any agenda for Thursday except to make more progress towards home. Initially we planned to stop west of Iowa City, but we went a bit farther and stayed east of it. We’re in a campground right off I-80. There’s only about 200 miles to go so we should be home in a little over 3 hours.
Plus 2.5 hours to get going in the morning. 😉
