This weekend I drove a total of 1040.4 miles, taking Danielle and I down to Peoria, IL for the wedding of my cousin Scott Lamkin to his girlfriend Jessica Runck.
I’m currently too lazy (busy?) to caption the photos, although I hope to get to that sometime this week.
I don’t envy the photographer’s job in working on the wedding photos themselves, as the ceremony was held in a hall at the Boy Scout Camp (Wakonda in Chillicothe, IL) which was lit by both high pressure sodium lights and cheap fluorescent lights. I’m not sure how one could properly color correct it, but you can see the weird color straight from the camera above.
The drive was fairly uneventful, although on the way there we passed through a storm alogn I-94 which provided ~80MPH headwinds and rain. I had to tail a semi in order to have a point of reference, then after getting through the storm we found rest areas without power, downed trees and billboards, and an overturned semi. On the way back we took I-80 / I-90 through Indiana and Ohio, mostly paralleling a rather large (and beautiful) thunderstorm the whole way.
We stopped by Danielle’s house to visit some with her family before heading back to my place, and when heading back on to I-75 for the remainder of the drive home a quite beautiful sunset presented itself.
Now I think it’s time to eat lunch. Maybe I’ll post more about this trip after captioning the photos.
