Wednesday 09/04/2008 - Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma




Mileage - ~400 miles (via St. Louis, Springfield and Joplin)

Got a bit carried away today and barely got out of the car, muscle wastage setting in. We are getting soars on our backsides. We're in a small place called Afton which is not far from Joplin nr. the Kansas / Oklohoma border.

Just about to tuck into Liver and Onions, Chicken strips with Jello (we don't know what it is but will report back in the morning). The Chevvy Malibu is still running despite being caned. Economy is down to 26mpg but it's stopped making funny noises and is running well despite us filling up with 84 RON cheapo petrol all the time.


Highlight - foot long cheese chilli dog, St. Louis and the amazing Busch Stadium, Elvis themed motel room, lightning.

Lowlight - storms, rain, threat of tornados, skid-marks on motel towel.


Next report tomorrow.

Andy and Jaffa


PS - Jello is just fruit jelly served with your meal.
PPS - My diet has gone out of the window corn dogs and liver are great

I had mash that u wud have loved

The storm is amazing the cafe we were in was shaking

Twisters are a high risk in the next few days get the insurance papers ready
