I don't remember ever thinking of it in terms of 'half-way'. I mean, we didn't
even take a picture. We were trying to get to Iron Masters before dark. (We
didn't) We were always trying to get someplace before dark. The things we paid
most attention to were state lines and 100 mile marks. Pokey passed the 1,200
mile mark on her last day. I think that knowing the fact that the sign isn't
really very close also lessened any excitement.
