Wow... those states went by FAST!

We drove through Iowa, across Illinois and Indiana in record time!! We went into Michigan and got hit by the storm that had been following us since Kansas. We stopped at a gas station for gas. I had just finished walking the dogs when the downpour hit! WOW!

We ran into the McDonalds for shelter and waited it out with a bunch of other travelers. The powere went on and off a number of times. When it let up a bit, we went out to check on the dogs. I decided to try to drive for a while to see if we could get out of the storm. 20 minutes and 5 accidents later... including a flipped 18 wheeler and a car floating in a swollen creek, I decided to stop at a rest area and stop for the night. Crashing in a rest area sounded better than CRASHING on the road!
