Our 2 day goal was central Nebraska. We took I-70 west to Indianapolis then I-74 North West Davenport / Moline where we got on I-80. This allowed us to avoid the Chicago mess and the tolls across Northern Indiana. Left around lunch and headed west. Made it out to the Dayton Ohio area. The appx. miles for the day was a easy 450 miles. A few shots of the place on the way out. A few days later the area got slammed by the remnants of Isabell.
Entering the terrible state of Illinois. Because of the whaco gun laws we don't stop... We don't spend one cent !! I just race across as fast as I legally can with the hope that I don't have any problems with the police as I do travel armed !
Crossing the Mississippi in the rain. But, we are in Iowa now !! We made it !!
Crossing the Missouri and the sun is back.
Our second night will be in Kearney Nebraska. This would be the end of our interstate travel except for a few small sections until it was time to go home. The sun angle was right over the road and the bugs made visibility difficult. The Dayton, Ohio to Kearney, Nebraska ride was appx. 900 miles. Easy day. Also, the time zone change helped make the day seem shorter.
