Day 18

Start: Effingham, IL
End: Bethalto, IL
Distance today: 96.1
Total: 1203.8

Passed by Route 66 today. Didn't get to ride on it, though, since it heads down to St Louis and we are by-passing St Louis to the north to meet up with a bike trail in St Charles. It would be fun to ride, though... Maybe next time... Anyone up for a road trip summer 2011, Chicago to Los Angeles???

Almost done with another state! Illinois an Indiana have just flown by compared to Pennsylvania and Ohio. Once we cross the Mississppi tomorrow, we'll just have 6 states to go!

Trivia question of the day: what is the longest road in the US?

ps... Our campsite smells like dead fish... :(
