The 455 mile drive from Perry Lake, Kansas, to Indiana was terrible. Heavy rain the whole time, accompanied by high winds. Truck after truck after truck on the highway, too, worse at night. Hit the rush hour in St. Louis right on target. Then, night fell at 530 and i still had five hours to go in the dark. All this on a strange road with road construction zones reducing traffic to one lane running for 10 or more miles. oh, and a windshield wiper that nevervworked so hard before that it would frequently stop in mid cycle for a few seconds, and then carry on. The supposed-six hour trip took 12 hours. Worst drive of my life. I guess this is the price i have to pay to reenter civilization.Had i suspected this, i would have split the trip into two.
Decided to camp in a motel in Terre Haute tonight to make time tomorrow on the road.
