Day two started in Charleston, WV at 7:00 AM for Bob and in Ft. Wayne, IN at 6:00 AM for Andy. Both had a great ride to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I drove right past the Pro Football Hall of Fame (if I had not been under time pressure to meet Andy, I would have stopped for at least a picture). Andy travelled across Indianna and Ohio to our destination. Both rode in very cool temps in the early morning –50’s abd 60’s. But it was warm by noon–bright, sunny, perfect.

Now for the good part: the tour has begun. We took out a map and pointed at the general direction East that we wanted to head and started riding through the real America that few people take the time to see anymore on two lane highways through small towns and farmland galore. Obama eat your heart out–you have never seen this. Doesn’t matter what state you are in. The only difference is farmland or prarie, mountain or desert. The spirit of Route 66 is alive and well on two-lane roads, thousands of miles of them, all accross the country.

Three pix worthy to be posted are the duo in the parking lot of Bob Evans in Cuyahoga Falls, a shot of Kent State University (we drove through it all), and our Put Put Scores for the day–because for the first time in years I won, and I do the blog!
