heya, I'm in middle of nowhere, usa! (grand island) -just about half way finished .. it says the total, 2777 miles, split into two.. = 1388. I have about 1700 miles now but wouldn't count the last 200-300, didn't included denver ZOO. anyhoo, just about half way!

here, nebraska corns - my new best friend..

I just got more catlitter, everyone did their jobs beautifully.

oh, clayton tried to get out of car.

just after I took him out to pose with me by nebraska welcome sign.

I don't think I can tell difference between this sneaky snowy-fluffy & snow!

yay, I have so much pictures, can't wait to share denver shots - when I got there, I assumed there won't be much of animals out but, a lot were! except okapis, tapirs, & mishmis.

most of africasava animals were there.

hmmm, what's in iowa.. illinois.. michigan.. ohio? maybe somewhere I should stop by and see?

sleepy head here, beddy time - next time you hear will be from the (lucky) iowa girl.

You are having quite the adventure. So happy to hear you enjoyed the Zoo and that there were still many animals to see. Well, keep us updated and be careful! 1/2 way here, WOW! You are really doing well with your traveling. Hope you haven't hit any more big snowstorms!

Hope to hear more from you soon!

Going through Ohio, if you are staying on I-80, you can hit the Christmas lights at the Toledo Zoo, Toft's dairy in Sandusky for some yummy ice cream, or the Rock n' Roll hall of fame in Cleveland. 80 is a toll road in Ohio though, and I think it is between $5 and $10 to cross the state on it.

I only live about 15 miles from RIT. We'll have to get together sometime when your all settled in.
May you have a safe & fun filled trip! Good luck.
