Kalamazoo!?!

Believe it, there’s a town in Michigan called Kalamazoo! I’m there right now, getting a shower and resting up for the next two days of driving through the northern states. I decided to break down and get the first hotel room of the trip. I would’ve got one earlier tonight, but I figured I had to stay in a town called Kalamazoo, if only because of the cool name. 

The Republican convention was on the TV in the lobby when I checked in. Where’s Hunter S. when you need him? He’d be in his element during this election. I’m firmly behind Obama and I hope the American public will be too.

The day’s driving went well. I stopped in at a Canadian Tire to get an oil change this morning because I’ve put over 4000 kms on the car since I got the last change in Charlottetown. The miles add up pretty fast! So now that the oil change is done I’m clear to drive back to Vancouver. 

Tomorrow I’m hoping to make it to Fargo and then Thursday I’m going to get as far as I can towards Alberta with a planned arrival in Calgary sometime Friday.
