Home sweet home.

Ended up catching a ride back home in Mike's Avalanche. We made the trip in exactly 15 hours, it would have been nearly twice that on the rails. I drove the shift from Kearney, Nebraska to about 150 miles west of Davenport, Iowa. Ron finished it up the rest of the way to East Troy. No one fell asleep behind the wheel and we arrived back in Milwaukee about seven.

Milwaukee: Gears and farmin' and Indians and smokestacks and stuff. Since 1846.
