Across America Trekkers Make it to Illinois

August 3- We cooked a big old breakfast today in Mary Kay's kitchen in preparation for our big ride. Goal of the day: making it to Illinois! We
sped through the day in Wisconsin and made it quite far by lunch. We are really on a roll- these 70+ mile days are no big deal for us anymore! Branton remarked at dinner, "have we really gone 77 miles?
Feels like 50, tops!" After an early dinner we rode the last 8 miles of our day into Illinois (hoooorayyyyyyyy!!!) and towards the welcome
light of our first motel since Montana. Tonight we rest easy knowing that we'll be spending the next day and a half in Chicago!
