Matt and I decided to caravan back to Kentucky since we were both driving most of the same route. We left a little after noon on July 4th after eating at the Georgetown barbeque. We made pretty good time the first day and stopped about an hour west of Topeka, Kansas to rest over night. We left early on the fifth but ran in to trouble pretty quickly. One of the shifting solenoids in Matt's automatic transmission went out, leaving him without first and fourth gear. That meant he had to take off from stops in second gear and limited his cruising speed in third gear. Fortunately, he was able to make it back to his parents' in Alabama on just two gears.
I made it back to Louisville around 9 pm after about 21 hours of driving over a 30 hour period.
