Up early around 7.30am. It was cloudy but the rain appeared to have cleared. Kerry and I had breakfast downstairs. I had scrambled eggs on an english muffin with some OJ, whilst Kerry had some fresh fruit including some huge strawberries and fresh pineapple (I had a bit of fruit as well).

Don't have a plan beyond an approximate route through Kentucky (where I have never been) and meeting Rob on Thursday or thereabouts in Santa Fe or another point to be determined. Headed out on historic Route 66, but has little to recommend it close to DC. In fact according to everyone's friend - wikipedia - its not even considered Route 66 in DC.
