08/11/06 - Day 3 - On our way to the west!- 1700 miles



To make it easier we were suppose to stop near colombus when suddenly, Tim Horton announced on next exit changed our mind about heading directly to Columbus. Armed with huge coffee, Mick decided to make it to Indiannapolis, which is 2 more hours of driving before stopping for the night.Cause in USA Tim Horton are rare, very rare.




At 2 am we stopped atfer 210 miles to fill up the tank in a small village close to highway 70 a bit after Indiannapolis.. We met a sweet girl at the gaz station. After a few minutes we got back on our wheel and we headed to the nearest rest area, 2 miles away, when suddenly greg thought it would a good souvenir to go back to the gaz station and take a picture with that girl. We finally went to bed at 4 am, instead of freezing to death all night long, we had a sweet and confortable night.


Sleeping in a rest area is prohibited, but we were'nt the alone so... waking up was fast, we took a quick shower which is made of a bottle of water(cold) and shampoo in the parking.. result= 100% effiency

Now for today, november 8th, driving, driving....and driving. After a few miles we made it up to the highway 70, we'll passed most of our time on the road to get the road 128 in Utah, right after Denver... our next destination!



We dont know how cold is it in Thetford Mines, but we its colder than here, it is around 80F here in Saint-Louis. Windows opened, wearing t-shirt, we put away our scarf for the first time. Like you'll see on the picture, Mathieu cooked us a sweet lunch. We realized that driving most of the time on the highway saved a lot of money in gas.




We finally reach St-Louis! We went to the Arch, then to the old town! We tooked a lot of pictures.. well this is one of our USA top 5 cities!







Michael, Greg and Seb with the arch! This arch is 60 year old this year and it's possible to get to the top by the interior.




We finally headed up to Kansas city! Thanks to everyone in missouri.. everyone seems so friendly!!!! A quebecers stops us to talk with us a little bit he was really happy to see us in his hometown of St-Louis (he lived there for 6 years now..)



As you can see on the picture, our last gas cost only 1.99$ US !! This is really cheap compare to gas in Quebec! The westfalia van did 19.75 miles per galons yesterday this is really good (we did 15 in the past..)
