Mighty Mississippi

I was wondering why I was seeing motorboats for sale out on the prairie.

As soon as I crossed into Missouri gas prices dropped 30 cents.

Land of Lincoln

You can't get away from Lincoln out here. From Kentucky to Illinois there's Lincoln sites all along the way. With the help of two energy drinks, courtesy of Full Throttle giving them away right outside the stadium, I drove from Cincy to Springfield, IL all night after the game. Then spent the day at the Lincoln Presidential Library and some other sites in town including his gravesite. That photo is Abe's original desk, which seems small for someone 6'4". I was totally beat by 5 PM and retired for the evening. Next stop KC

Reds Game

Friday I was at the Reds game when they hit 7 homers. 2 from Bruce
and 2 from Votto. Can't beat that! There's quite a show when the home team hits a bomb. Fireworks, smoke, the works. The views are great from the upper deck overlooking the Ohio River and right in downtown Cincinnati next to where Riverfront/Cinergy used to be. The ball park is definitely one of my favorites up there with PNC and of course, Camden.
