On the Road Again—California to Kalamazoo Part 4
Day 4 of our epic journey was planned as the shortest of our outbound trip. But because we fell shy of our planned stopping points on days 2 and 3, it turned out to be the longest of the four legs covering more than 600 miles. The graphic below pretty much tells the...
