Day 5: South Bend to Toledo

After a Guinness at Gipper’s Lounge, Jake and I went to bed about 2:00 AM. I woke up around 6:30 AM due to a raging thunderstorm that managed to cut off power for a couple of minutes. We slept until 9:30 and then finally dragged out lazy butts out of bed.

After a trip to Starbuck’s and a stop at Notre Dame University for a hole of Frisbee Golf between the football stadium and Touchdown Jesus, we finally hit the road around 11:00 AM.

Not much to report other than, when you get to this side of the U.S. it appears you pretty much have to pay for every road you drive on. $1.75 here. $2.40 there. It begins to add up after a while.

We got to the Ohio border about 1:00 PM. We’ll stop in Toledo for gas and lunch around 2:00 PM. After that we should have about 450 miles to go.
