Illinois and Indiana
Illinois and Indiana.
Crossing the Mississippi
Welcome to Indiana, We're flatter than Iowa but not as flat as a lot of Nebraska, but still really flat.
Not a lot to say here. Perhaps as a consequence of having spent 5 days in a car driving 10+ hours each day, Patrick and I seemed to spend most of Wednesday the 19th laughing at unfortunate signs. Some things that amused me, in no particular order (and in full understanding that this list will make me seem incredibly immature or insensitive):
--Kikapoo: The river (three times) and the town (4 or 5 times)
--Licking County Ohio
--Thinking about 32 oz miller light cans
--Tom Raper Home and RV Sales (4 huge billboards)
--Venison jerkey (I still have no idea why this one was funny)
In Illinois, I did sample some fantastic smoked and/or cured meats including smoked venison and venison/pork sausages with cheese, which has led to my new suggestion for the Illinois motto:
"Illinois, it ain't vegan."
I'm waiting on the tourism board to call me back. Check out the flickr shots.
