2015 CAR TRIP ACROSS THE US
Jo and I visited friends and relatives across the US on this, the 3rd such trip. Jerry prepared the map seen above and we had difficulty navigating even with GPS; it seem like the States did not match Jerry's map. The two main reasons for this trip was the Lacey / Hartman reunion in Boone, Iowa and Jerry's USS Des Moines Navy reunion in Mercer, PA. We have include some of the pictures taken during the trip. Jerry forgot the good camera in the car trunk most of the time, so we used our cell phones, some pictures good, some not so good.
