Finished my work stint around 3, was on the road at 3:13. Hotel was four hours away. Very easy drive, basically the same highway North.

This is the basic view for four hours. |

I saw a lot of these fields full of these yellow flowers. Couldn't figure out if it were some sort of crop or just wildflowers. I think it's just some beautiful weed in that I saw a bunch of horses grazing in one of the fields and I don't think they'd allow that if it were a crop. Really lovely sight, though. |

This is Columbus, Ohio, which is the exception to the "same view for four hours" rule. |

But soon, it's back to the same view for four hours. When I arrived at the exit for my hotel -- at first I couldn't find it, and then when I did, you couldn't get there from here. It was one of those cases where you can see the hotel but can't figure out the road to get there. Then when I finally got to the hotel, I couldn't find the office to check in. Then I saw a sign... "Drive Thru Check in" -- that's something I've never seen before, but it was pretty cool, just like a drive-thru bank where the window/sleeve opens and I put my credit card in there and got back my card with a paper on a clipboard to sign and that was that. This place is pretty much a dump, but it's clean and appears safe. I'm in Medina, Ohio. |

Here's the room, and I'm lying on this very bed, right now, typing and soon will be writing a news release. |
|
Here's the rest of the room with a flat screen tv (but not many good channels), the luggage rack, a safe and the sink. The toilet/tub is in a separate room. |
|
And here's the view out my window. That's my car for this week. Onward for seven hours tomorrow and then a fairly quick trip Monday morning to be home. Yes, I could make it in one longer day, but I have finally learned that there are no medals for endurance typically. |

Thanks for the photo tour. I really enjoy it...Stephanie
I like the description...it's pretty much a dump, but clean and safe. My idea of a dump must be different than yours :). Travel safe, and you are right...no prizes for endurance in our travels! I'm afraid we're past the marathon age !
Looks like a nice drive ...enjoy the rest of your trip home!
