We did about 300 miles today. It was hot and muggy. Colorado has very low humidity. Did we mention that before? The difference in humidity levels is stark once you leave the Colorado Plateau. And since there a kooky weather system in the US right now and it’s stormy everywhere, it’s really swampy.
We will be on I70 until we are 7 miles from our son’s new home south of Pittsburgh
We rode into Greenfield IN in search of lodging and food. We found a Cracker Barrel for our lunch/dinner. We were there about ten minutes and the rain started. My phone kept alerting me to the storm outside. But we were focused on food and feeling thankful we were sheltered.
You may think that there are restaurants at every exit on I70. But that is not so: particularly in southern Illinois and Indiana. We thought we got lucky and stopped at a McDonald’s for lunch. But all the doors were locked. There were people inside eating but no new patrons were being allowed in. Or was it just us? lol. And while the drive thru was open, we didn’t want to stand around the bike eating and sweating. We decided to push on. And Cracker Barrel beats McDonalds hands down.
This morning we road through St Louis. We saw the “Arch” and traversed a bridge over the mighty muddy Mississippi.
So we are happily in our room. Counting the minutes until we can go to bed. 😴
