Day Six: Momence, IL to Omaha, NE

Today was a desperate day. Wes' mom FedEx'ed out the title to his car, so we headed out to CarMax to sell it. Only the CarMax guy didn't seem to believe it. Not the right document, he said. We were in the parking lot, big moving truck, Jess' car attached, ready to move on to Nebraska, and we couldn't sell the other car.

Thankfully, another CarMax employee took pity, investigated, and found that this was, indeed, the right piece of paper to sell the car. Thanks, Donna. Two hours and lots of sweat later, we were on the road to Omaha.
