The first leg of The Last American Road Trip is now complete. Both Dave and Tom are now set to turn west and head for St. Louis. As you can see from the photo, the G6 is the perfect size for two people and all their gear for a multi-week trip. I tried to capture some of the iconic sights along the road from Michigan to Ohio but handling the camera with one hand and driving with the other left something to be desired in terms of photography.
It is ironic that this trip will begin shortly after General Motors filed for bankruptcy. Even more disturbing is the number of plants that will close and jobs that will end. Two generations in my family were employed by GM as were many of my family and friends. As much as I and the folks in Michigan and Ohio are saddened by this development, it will be interesting to hear what folks in other western and midwestern states think about it. We will see.
Next: The Gateway to Western Expansion.

I spoke with Tom today. He drove just 180 miles today. Not a lot, but much of the rest of the day was spent planning details of the trip (where will they get wifi access) and packing the car with Dave's gear.
