Day 12

Raining when we got up--first time on this trip. Soon quit. we loaded up and went to the Submarine Museum and the USS Nautilus. I remember the Nautilus well--also remembered a lot of other stuff about the subs. We went thru the Nautilus--small and everything compact. In the galley they had an ice cream machine--a soft serve machine made by Taylor Freezer in Rockton, north of Rockford. I used to audit Taylor at Peat, Marwick. The controller now is Arlen Molln who I've known for several years--played softball and still play cards with him. I took a picture to show Arlen. After the museum, went to a memorial for all the subs and peraonnel lost in WWII. 52 subs and over 3600 men.

Kept on driving--out of Connecticut, into New York, and finally into PA. Stopped at Scranton PA.

NY map is worthless--no mileages, no exit numbers. really a poor job.

Stats: 2456 miles; 22.3 mpg; 110.2 gal; 66hr, 48 min; 36.8 mph.

  1. Sounds like you had much more fun than you would have had going to Delaware.
