And you know you are out there when you don't recognize the license plates anymore.
Made it to Joliet, Illinois via Indiana. Tomorrow Des Moines, Iowa. All highway tomorrow - it's about the miles and just getting there (300 more to go). May head over to the campground early and see if I can volunteer before the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association Rally. Over 7000 are expected to attend.
Oh, and I gained an hour. Love gaining time.
Update: Made it Altoona, Iowa.
I crossed the Mississippi River yesterday (Tuesday). And reached over 300 miles today. I like the morning drive and getting off the road in the early afternoon. This heat - yesterday reached over 92 and the day before saw the temp gauge reach 95. It is really f-cking hot and while you're riding the cycle - you need to stay alert and be aware. Look out for one of my next posts...what it's like riding a motorcycle and what goes on.
My favorite state welcoming sign has to be from Iowa: "The people of Iowa welcome you. Fields of opportunity."
So far - crossed through Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and now Iowa. I will be here for 5 days.
