Let me catch you up with the last part of October and early November. From Austin I traveled north to make a meet-up November 2 with three college buddies in East Lansing, MI. All of us are Michigan State University Spartans and MSU had a huge football game vs. University of Michigan. The short version of the rivalry is that Spartans really don't like the U of M. I traveled to Michigan by way of Chicago, stopping off to see my brother Jerry and his family.

This leg added 1145 miles to the Tank's odometer. |

So from the west suburbs of Chicago I went up to Midland, MI, my birthplace and home of my father, step-mother and brother Jim. Jim was kind enough to put me up in his driveway for three days (yay electric space heater!)

350 more miles! |

After a nice visit with the family finally, on November 1 I traveled to my friend Steve's house in Okemos, MI (just outside East Lansing) to get situated for the next day's BIG game! Sitting through 5 hours of cold and rain was well worth seeing the result: MSU 27, UM 6. We went out to a great celebratory dinner in East Lansing afterward. 1600 miles of Tank travel and man was it worth it!
Only 87 more miles. |
Thanks for reading! |
