I could not have crossed the grand and spectacular Mississippi today. The thing I crossed looked more like an over-saturated mud pile. I could not find a "Welcome to Illinois" sign when I crossed a few days ago after crossing the Ohio, nor looking back as I crossed the Mississippi. To find even the sign posted below, I had to search desperately several miles off route. Maybe the state government felt that if I didn't know I was in Illinois, I would continue to blame my woes on Kentucky.
Entering the rolling hills of the Ozark Mountains I though I might have fallen asleep for a few thousand miles and woken up south of Seattle in Napa Valley. The landscape is plush green, immersed in vineyards, and covered in "wine tasting" signs.
What a day with the weather! Sunny, clear, BUT 25mph headwinds, gusting at 35mph!
