Pist Frost

First post; we've made it as far as Toledo, OH. There is nothing here. Em set the hotel we'd picked out as our final destination in the GPS, but I accidentally deleted that (presumably while looking for C Waffles [see below]) and picked a random point in Toledo. At some point, we decided to select the hotel we actually wound up staying, but because the GPS meticulously tried to get us to both waypoints quickly so we had to take back roads through the rural Ohio to get here.
The first 500 miles or so have been fairly uneventful. I'd only been about 2/3rds of Pennsylvania on Rt. 80, and as it turns out, the other 1/3rd looks precisely like the rest. Wooded, with a side order of nothing. I'm looking forward to Chicago--and less nothing--tomorrow, and I'm hoping there's a little more to report.
