I checked all the tire pressures and lug nuts carefully, and by 10 a.m. we were driving beautiful Rt 149 southeast.  What a sweet section of road that is &#8212; decorated with green hills, red cliffs, the fast-moving water of the Rio Grande, and old mining towns.  It was a nice drive.<\/p>\n<p>We made good time today, thanks to speed limits of 65-75 MPH most of the way.   The best news is that absolutely nothing bad happened.  Eleanor and I listened to music on the iPod, Emma watched some Scooby Doo, we had stuffed animal fashion shows in the car (I was the judge), and generally the time passed uneventfully.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight we are in Goodland KS at the Wal-Mart.  It&#8217;s sunny, sultry, and breezy here.  We&#8217;ll take a walk, do some shopping, make a pizza and watch a movie. The road trip is off to a good start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Big Dash East has begun.
