Long drive today - Alton, Illinois to about 20 miles west of Dayton, Ohio. For some reason, no hotels are available in Indiana tonight so had to drive all the way to western Ohio - about 400 miles/6.5 hours. Given the lack of hotels, one would think it was Memorial Day weekend (this is what I thought until someone reminded me Memorial Day is the last weekend in May - not April). Not sure what is going on in IN; feel like I'm missing something:)
My memory of Illinois and Indiana is captured in the two photos below - "cone zone" and semi-trucks. It seemed like 90% of the road (I-70) was under construction and after seeing the number of semi-trucks on the road, I can understand why. There were long stretches of Interstate where there were clearly more trucks than cars on the road. I guess Indiana's welcome sign is correct - "Crossroads of American":)
