What a day to take off on, left two inches of snow on the driveway. Got out before the plow did its number. We crept slowly to the Iowa boarder. Once there is was pedal to the metal. We wondered how many semi trucks we saw and how many miles are racked up during one driving day by all those truckers. We started to see power line utility trucks in NE Iowa and throughout Illinois, all headed to the west. Bet we saw 60 of them.
Along the road we saw 3 turkeys, 40 deer or so, one bunch about 30.
At mile 636 we entered St. Elmo's Steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis. That shrimp sauce was as good as remembered. Fresh horseradish and cocktail sauce. They had an interesting bread. Thinly sliced, about 1/4 inch 2 inch round without crust pile high with fresh Parmesan cheese and baked a light brown. Rib eye was good also.
As we were leaving my telephone rang, it was a wrong number, Dennis J. was calling home and he mis-dialed us instead. -- Till Later Jerr
