Starting Mileage: 9,652 Ending Mileage: 9,879 I arrive in South Haven two hours later than my anticipated 12:30 pm arrival. I knew I was going to be an hour late because I didn’t leave as planned. The second hour is a surprise to me when I learn that South Haven is on EST. I was […]
Starting mileage: 9,384 Ending mileage: 9,652 Gas purchased in Oglesby, IL: $4.40 per gallon Today was uneventful, a good thing, since we just drove from one 1-night stay to the other.
