My Trip to HybridFest 2006
This is a work in progress - check back i a few days for pictures, videos, etc.
Left Lewisville 25 miles NW of Dallas at 6:30am. About halfway between Dallas and Texarkana is the town I was born in - Sulpur Springs. It is a dairy town, but nothing like the dairy country I was ultimately headed for - Madison Wisconsin. At that point I started to draft 18-wheelers less than a car length.
Normally I get about 60mpg cruising at 75mph, but the wind break got my trip mpg to 73.5 after 660 miles. No longer a draft skeptic.
Going to Chicago is more direct from Dallas taking US 75/I44/I55. I decided to take I30/I40/I55. Took a detour to tag Memphis just to say I was there....
Memphis is Not Known for These BBQs
Just past Cape Girardeau, Missouri, I made my first fillup, then stared to "rush" to St. Louis. Made it to the Arch at 7pm that first night.
Trip to The Arch
After spending two hours in St. Louis, drove 3-4 hours on I55 into Illnois. Made it to Waynes' home about 10am the next day, avoiding the worst of rush hour.
Chicago & Sears Tower
Went to HybridFest in Madison Wisconsin late Friday...
