I have been in Marquette, Michigan, on the Upper Peninsula for the past few days. My sister, Kristen and her husband have a summer home here. This is a little slice of heaven! Clean, clear skies, friendly people, and great whitefish meals. Monday I will point the car south and head home, stopping in Madison to visit my cousin, Victor and his lovely wife Kathy.
Tuesday, I will make a short stop in Elburn, Illinois to get the European Train Store to help me figure out how to operate my new-fangled digital train system. I am still operating my trains the same way I did 60 years, ago, totally analogue, with a million miles of wire under the layout. I hope they can teach this old dog something new.
Then I will take about 3 days to drive home to Houston. I remember in the old days, we might drive 12 or more hours, straight, to get from El Paso to Killeen, and that was at 55 mph! Now, anything more than 5 hours and you can pour me out of the car! I will try to be back in Houston before rush hour starts on Thursday, the last thing I want to do at the end of my vacation is to experience Houston traffic!
I will report my miles driven when I get home.
