Poquoy Brook in Lakeville...3 hour round
Pace of play is a common excuse golfers (including myself) use as to why we didn't play so well. Somehow I managed a 94 at Poquoy in 2:48 with ADT Jim. Junk off the tee for most of the round combined with four 3-putts on the back made me feel like Peter Hanson at the Open.
Will have to return to Pequoy again (along with Acushnet River and Swansea) to make my determination as to my go-to course.
Next new course I want to play: http://www.newportnational.com/

Liberty Hotel Lobby Blowing Up at Midnight
Not the type of place I'd go to every weekend, but definitely worth checking out often - hands down one of the most interesting places I've been. This place would be a top ten spot in NYC or London. Never would have guessed renovating a jail and adding three bars and restaurant would produce anything like this: http://libertyhotel.com/dining.html from this http://libertyhotel.com/history.html

Bad Golf Genes
36 holes today at Swansea CC and then Acushnet River. Every 9 holes I got progressively worse. Knew it was going to be a good day when I shot a 43 with 21 putts on the front 9 at Swansea

Serafini's Detour in Erie
Aside from some Jamba post tour this morning, we hadn't really eaten much decent food (Taste of Chicago is weak compared to Taste of Seattle). So I looked for a good stopping point before Syracuse and found Erie. Google Maps search on my phone was pushing the east food usual suspects pretty hard but I found Serafini's. Based on the good reviews we pulled off 90. Overall, the place was good, basically your classic small town family Italian. 250 miles to syracuse
Fell Asleep Outside of Chicago and Woke Up in Ohio
Outside of Toledo to be exact. Word from pops is that there's cops everywhere and nothing to really see... Makes me glad I slept through Indiana. What's with the pic? Well progress is measured alot of ways: Miles - 2441 since Seattle, Cabela's seen from 90 - 7, number of times yelling occurred for no reason in the Honda - 23 And BUGS KILLED-8281

Spam Museum and State Trooper
Quick stop in Austin for food and what do you know? Spam HQ. This is after pops was pulled over doing 86. Love Minnesota
The Road Just Trails into the Horizon
Here in South Dakota. We're about 80 miles from Sioux Falls. Planning on lunch in Austin, MN (no reason, we'll just need gas then) and then we head to Chicago for dinner

Where are we?
Just woke up and asked that very question. Apparently we are closing in on Billings and my dad is trying to make record time. Yesterday we pressed to Butte after Missoula was short on hotel rooms. Got in around 3:30 am mst. Slept for 3 hours at the Finlen and hit the road with pops (aka Speed Racer).

And So It Begins
After the Hopkins boat tour with 19 K exactly on the odometer, we began our journey at 4:30 pacific time
Lake Union Speed Lane
For the record, last time Hopkins and I was going this fast on a boat, we sank it... Sort of
3090 Miles To Go...
Here's the route in case you're interested:

Pretty much four days of leisurely driving with 24 hours in Chicago showing my dad the sights. Question is - how much gas will we need and what will it cost. Best guess - 89 gallons, $375. We'll see how wrong I am when this is over.
