!st Day of Travel 16 Jan, 2013

We Departed Murphy, NC at 0630, still raining, and have traveled 741 miles today.  Ran into snow and ice North of Nashville TN, nothing falling, it came during the night, sun broke through West of St Louis temps remained in low 40s.  Arrived at Whiteman AFB , about 50 miles East of Kansas City, home of the B2 Bomber, about 2030 with temps in the mid 30s, some snow on the ground.
Fuel prices continue to decline with reg about $2.85 and diesel $3.55, naturally my tank was full when we past the station with cheap fuel so I went down the road and paid $3.61.  Happy with the trucks fuel milage, which has averaged 20.5 thus far.  My goal was to average 19 MPG on the trip, so far so good.
Up early tomorrow and on to Denver, CO where we will stay at Buckley AFB.
  See you tomorrow !
