February 1, 2011: Louisville to Muskegon

I can't believe it is the last day of our fun-filled vacation.   I don't think any of us on the bus were in a hurry to go back to the possibility of a blizzard that is on its way.  
Helped Tim Shelton, our bus driver, find a place for lunch.     I am sure I drove him crazy with my laughing.  :o)
We had a nice conversation.   Our escort, Ernie Sloan, was getting a kick out of us.      I guess that is also my second job----entertainment.


We played a game on the bus that if you said the word 'bus' then you put a nickel in the cup.   Boy, you don't realize how many times you say that word.    Tim tried to ask what transportation I took while living in Chicago. I said: Metra, El, South Shore train,  and couch, but not the word bus.


It's a good thing I went back and sat down in my seat, as shortly after, we went by a semi and a big piece of ice flew off of it and hit our bus's windshield, cracking it.  A little while later a bird got caught in the wipers, which was pretty funny.


Had our last lunch at Culvers just north of Fort Wayne, Indiana. I enjoyed my mushroom & swiss burger.


We got back to Muskegon around 5:30 p.m.    


Here are the stats on the bus trip through Orchard View Travelers.   We went 3,950 miles, used 571.75 gallons fuel, and spent $1973.51. The average price of gas was $3.46.  The bus gets 6 mpg on the highway.
