Week One of the new season of The Hitch continues. After a brief overnight in rural Illinois (and an even briefer night's sleep thanks to the three-year-old's excitement keeping everyone awake), Janice and Dan hitch up again and pull Evangeline to just outside Saint Louis.

Towing miles are long miles, and the whole rig takes a lot of getting used to. And instead of the short two hour pull yesterday, today's crossed the five hour mark, necessitating a stop for gas along the way. All this stuff, dear listener, has a learning curve. Come learn alongside us.
