The travel on this trip has been rough. I figure these were the distances each day:
Wednesday, Chicago-Milwaukee, 100 miles
Thursday, Milwaukee-Minneapolis, 300 miles
Friday, Minneapolis-Kansas City, 430 miles
Saturday, Kansas City-St. Louis, 220 miles
Sunday, St. Louis-Chicago, 290 miles
Got to see The Natural on the St. Louis-Chicago run, hadn't seen it before. Couldn't catch some of the dialogue with the din on the bus. They also showed The Sandlot on the Kansas City-St. Louis run which, though terrible, isn't as terrible as The Sandlot II. They had video features on Buck O'Neil and Ewing Kaufman on the way to Kansas City.
Jay Buckley, who runs these tours, has an audiotape for each city with some little-known facts. Try this: If you park at a meter in Chicago, put a peanut M&M wrapper on the dashboard and you won't be ticketed if the meter expires. It means you're a cop.
