Illinois loses when it comes to roads and state parks. I guess they really do keep all the money in Chicago... My Location@7:54am,8/19

Rain?
Wouldn't you know it...rain is looking likely for today. Do I bug out now and maybe see it all day or wait and hope it gets in front of me? Hopefully I can break camp before it starts.

Last night.
507 miles today. Hanibal was the only real highlight. Neat old river town. I did buzz by St Joseph's which was the starting point for the Pony Express. I get the feeling I started this trip going through Springfield cause Illinois University is here and I rode right by it earlier in the trip. Oh well. Been an adventure for sure.

Pretty uneventful...
So far the ride today has been a bust as far as seeing anything interesting. The towns hardly qualify as such. The good news is I'm making good time to Lovewell S.P. I've lost an hr on going into central time so Lovewell is looking good for stopping. Now I just need to find a float to use as an air mattress...lol. My Location@3:26pm,8/17
