I woke up around 6am after a night of tossing and turning. The posh hotel was not anything near as comfortable as April and Dave’s house. I decided to just get up and hit the road. I left around 5:30am ABQ time. I had 750 miles to cover.

I’m somewhat impressed with this above shot… I’m not too proud to say it! Day 5: I was able to leave the snowy north! There was no additional snow over night and I was able to dig the car out and finally continue my trip [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/day-5-chicago-il-to-springfield-mo/feed/ 4 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/day-4-snowed-in/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/day-4-snowed-in/#comments Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:32:03 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=36 Yes, Snowed in. Stuck in Chicago. Many multiple inches. Not the best thing ever for a tiny Miata. But I’ve got a warm place to stay and the promise of less weather tomorrow, so I’m staying in Chicago an extra night. Not much to do but stay warm and shoot toys indoors. Poor Sharka. This [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/day-4-snowed-in/feed/ 6 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/detour/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/detour/#comments Sat, 10 Jan 2009 15:47:45 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=33 I think this is how I’m gonna go home now. See, I’m stuck in Chicago. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY? What’s this white stuff? Why does it fall and stay on the ground? Where’s the sky? This is not New Mexico. Des Moines looks to have similar weather right now and the route between cities seems pretty [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/detour/feed/ 2 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/day-3-chicago/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/day-3-chicago/#comments Sat, 10 Jan 2009 03:40:20 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=30 Sharka roadtrip day 3: Chicago – Lotsa walking and no driving. I saw some sights and museums and cool stuff today. I drove not one bit. It was awesome. The snow was less awesome, but at least I didn’t have to drive in it. I brought snow from Columbus. Chicago was fine when I got [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/day-3-chicago/feed/ 3 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/ohio-to-chicago/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/ohio-to-chicago/#comments Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:09:20 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=26 Day 2 of the adventure: Ohio to Chicago! My room was warm. My car was not. Though it doesn’t look like much, this is a nice 1/8″ thick layer of ice on Sharka. And though that doesn’t SOUND like much, it’s enough to make it hard to thaw the back window (plastic) and open the [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/01/ohio-to-chicago/feed/ 5
