Greetings from Parkersburg, West Virginia!

Hello everyone-

We had a change of plans due to the severe weather that was happening today along our original intended route through Chicago (which is right now having tornadoes as I type this).
We instead headed south from Davenport, Iowa through Southern Ohio to Parkersburg, West Virginia. We drove 600 miles today!

While it was nasty in northern Ohio, In southern Ohio, the sun was shining the whole time. It was actually very nice, especially compared to the flat dull land of Illiandohio. I retract my earlier critiicizm of the state of Ohio. :)

We are trying to decide what to do tomorrow. We may: 1)Wait out the storms here in Parkersburg, since it's a nice area (with a lot of rail-trails); or 2) drive the remaining 300 miles home.

We will look at the Weather Channel tomorrow morning at 5 AM, and then decide.
