Spike Travel

We left campus on Monday morning around 10am. The first day we drove through Colorado all the way to Salina, Kansas. On Tuesday we drove to St. Louis, Missouri and the travel was really easy until we were about 20 miles away from our hotel. St. Louis had received 10 inches of snow which is very unusual for the area. We sat in traffic for 3.5 hours. Fortunately, with so many of us in the van, we found ways to entertain ourselves. We played cards, twenty questions, hot seat, and several other games to help us get to know each other a little better.

Wednesday was our last day of travel. We went through Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky and then arrived safely to our new home in Caryville, Tennessee. Upon arrival, we met our sponsor Tony who works with the Cumberland Trail Conference. We settled into our house which consists of three rooms, two bathrooms, a living area and a kitchen. It is working out really well and I am looking forward to getting out and exploring the state park where our house is located.
