Get the Hell Out of Ohio

Special Note: Those first three posts are from Adam's forum on the Honda Odyssey Club page. If you want to follow his thread, go to odyclub.com, click forums, and find him in the road trip section. His is called 'Job Market Be Damned: Quitting Our Jobs and Hitting the Road!' It's largely about our van, but also about the trip.

A wolf! No joke! I thought it was a poor, lost dog walking down 65 southbound, but my outdoorsy, woodsy, wildlife expert boyfriend had his doubts so we consulted our best friend the IPhone.  Lo and behold it’s a wolf. Fairly new to the Kentucky area people often mistake them for large black coyotes. * The More You Know *

Sleeping Arrangements

1^st night a success! We googled “nice neighborhoods in Memphis” and ended up in Mid-town, which features an historic district, a park, and ample free parking!
