This marks the second time we will have a trip manfesting in Enid and ending in Pennsylvania. This go around, the trip to York will be about 2 1/2 days, covering 1313 miles. We'll be able to cover 508 miles a day, while driving at 63.5 mph. Let's retread some previously seen country.

DAY ONE


It's interesting. Our route takes us from one fairly small town to another (heck, judging from the picture, Enid's probably not even real) but on the first day, we'll end up right in downtown St. Louis. An extremely slow moving front which is losing a lot of it's identity as it moseys through the center of the country thanks to some high dew points bleeding into the cold pool could bring just enough instability to southern Missouri to provide for a very isolated shower or thunderstorm from Marshfield to St Louis, but mostly, it will be partly cloudy skies the entire lengh of the drive.

DAY TWO
It sounds strange, but a tropical low off the South Carolina coast will have a sizable impact on the drive on Day 2. What sounds stranger still is that the low will keep the area dry. See, another low will be scooting just to the north of our route through the Great Lakes will be robbed of it's moisture by the circulation well to the southeast. Instead, the low o the north will have a tough time swinging a cold front south into Illinois and Indiana, and we'll stay warm but mostly dry for the day Sunday. the day ends in the hills of eastern Ohio, in the town of Middlebourne.

DAY THREE
There could be some patchy fog in the valleys of western Pennsylvania as we get started on Monday, but it will burn off early in the morning. The system over the Great Lakes will merge with the one over the Gulf Stream, and move quickly away from York, meaning dry, sunny conditions upon our arrival.
