Trip Report: Day 3 of 11 ... Oshkosh!

I made it to Oshkosh, and am now in my hotel room in nearby Fond du Lac and ready to start work tomorrow.  It was gray and gloomy and starting to rain when I left the hotel this morning. Here I am paying to leave Indiana, on to Illinois...



Full rain going through Chicago; this is the Dan Ryan Expressway which we hear about. I was glad it was Sunday morning because I bet the workday traffic is horrible. That's the Chicago skyline in the distance...



Then it was North to Wisconsin where it was sunny, of course...

These purple flowers attracted me. I'm not sure what they are.... heather?


Same Microtel room; same ground floor view...


This must be the budget room; no refrigerator, microwave, etc.


On my drive today, I listened to my books on CD. Am enjoying the book by Jason Blair, that New York Times reporter who got fired for making up stories. I bought it on eBay. He reads his own book, and I have to say I don't like him, but I enjoy the story, if that makes sense.

I think I'm going to see if I can buy a hat tonight for the sun...other than that, I'm ready for work tomorrow.

I want to know... Are you taking some of the photos while you are driving ms. Pat?.. That has to be comparable to texting while driving? But I enjoy the updates!
