Crossing Illinois

Not much to report today. We are staying on the back roads, traveling on US 24 today. There were cattle and sheep between the crops today. Sunflowers were added to the crop mix.

Driving through Peoria street sign: snow route no parking 2 or more inches of snow. I am guessing they keep that street plowed. All along the interstates there have been gates closing them...barring entrance. We are in the 'W' designation for radio stations and upon entering Indiana we lost an hour to Eastern time.

John made the observation that since Montana he has seen predominately USA brand pick ups, Chevy, Ford and Dodge.

We had our first Garmin mis adventure...looking for a campground it led us to a place where we had to 'navigate 400 feet OFF ROAD' and pointed to a cornfield. In place of the Thrift store Garmin said was in Peoria, we found a Dollar General Store. It seems like every single town we have gone through there has be a DG store. I did find a thrift store somewhere near El Paso that benefited the Apostolic church.

Onward to Akron.
