The original capitol building

You have to admire the dramatic design & historic craftsmanship. Some would say "they just don't build'em like they used to" ... which is true!
And, if they did, no one could afford it!
Thanks for all the pix.
Hope you guys enjoy the remainder of your trip. Blessings for fun & safe travels!

Got gas at $3.47 today! Cheapest I've seen yet.
3760mi since we left home.
Trip average 18.3 mpg.
Had 2 or 3 tank fulls at 20-22 but most are mid 18s.
Best mileage is when we do 60 ish, at 70+ it drops a lot, and the 80mph freeways (doing 84-85) it really tanks.
I use cruise control as much as possible.
I'm kinda shocked at how poor the mileage is. My 2014 F150 with the Coyote engine would get 21-22 on trips like this, every tank full.
Normally aspirated 360hp v8 6sp auto in a larger heavier truck vs 405hp twin turbo v6 10sp auto in the Raptor. You'd think all that technology would help more...
