Flat Stanley Part II

Today Flat Stanley had a late start but was eager to hit the road and see the sights. *Stanley doesn't have to use a car seat or seat belt only because he is flat.*

He made it through three states, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio traveling west on Interstate 70 and Interstate 80. In the Pittsburgh, PA area he saw some snow still on the ground. In Ohio the temperature was 10 degrees warmer than Pennsylvania even though the two states are next to each other!


Flat Stanley met a very nice Ohio State Trooper. A State Trooper is a police officer who can work in the whole state, not just one city. After Rana and "Flats" met the trooper they both decided to use the cruise control almost exclusively for the rest of their journey, even when passing very slow cars. Cruise control is the part on a car which can control the speed automatically for a person so he or she is sure to drive at the correct speed limit.




After this big day which brought Flat Stanley all the way to the border of Indiana, he went to bed. Flat Stanley didn't even want to read, play games or watch cartoons because he was very tired and wanted to be well rested for tomorrow's adventure to Nebraska!
