    Mansfield?!?! You were super close to me! What route did you take though Ohio and not stop to see me, route 30?

    I'm glad you guys had a fun, safe trip with no trouble. It's been fun following along your journey!

    well, then, the good news is that we took 71 out of mansfield. it was a mostly interstate day that last day with a little more than 700 miles to cover.

    so we weren't that close...

    she's already got it planned. nashville, memphis, sante fe, grand canyon, mesa verde nat'l park.

    probably not in the 54, but still a heck of an adventure.
