Awoke in Toledo, Ohi-yo (next to the airport); checked for bug bites, showered, dressed and went for breakfast in the motel lobby.
We were on the road by 8:30 with all the trucks that roll east/west along I-90/80. The temperature was already at 73 degrees. The land lays flat here in upper Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa and the roads are laid out in a grid. It's pretty mindless driving. Put the cruise on set your speed and go.
Took a side road off the Interstate down to Riverside, Iowa to have a look at the Future Birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk mentioned in Roadside America. There is a Star Trek Museum there and a monument has been erected behind a beauty salon on Main Street............the whole adventure felt like something right out of Twilight Zone. I expected to see alien zombies parading down the street when we emerged back on to Main Street from the alley that leads to the monument. LOL
Staying in Iowa City tonight. Meatloaf and Turkey for supper then an early night.
