Default On The Road Again Pt1

On the road again making my way from Los Angeles to Birmingham via Illinois.
Road trips are great, you never know what to expect

Spent about 11hrs in the adaptive seat today, and they are comfortable like a glove

Av speed is down from what it should be only because of having to drive thru snow for about 200 mi ...ugh
At times the temp was showing 31° ..Signs saying "Caution Ice on the Roadway"
and I'm thinking I've got summer tires.. Think smooth inputs.

I made it!

As I was scrolling down viewing your pics and saw the one with the warning about driving conditions and to drive with care, I thought for sure the one immediately following, at first glance, was of your car going sideways!

That last pic is suitable for framing. But why are you on the wrong side of the road? ... See, you're a hazard on the road trying to drive and take pics at the same time!

How did you ever get 25.5 MPG, the best I can do is approx 20MPG.
