Cahokia IL to London KY

We are up early and on the road by 8:30.  We will drive a little more than 400 miles today.  I am really tired today, I think it is this raining weather that is fallowing us.  It leaves me feeling sleepy and grouchy.  Poor Joe has to put up with me.  I try to put on a happy face and get through the day.  I managed somewhat to accomplish this.
Joe took a wrong exit once when I wasn't paying attention to tell him that wasn't the way.  I was not real happy about it as now we had to find a place to turn around.  It seems in these southern states they do not give you very good signage and it is easy to take a wrong turn.  I will pay closer attention.  Tracy I am blaming my in attention on you, why you ask, will you got me started on the Outlanders series and I have trouble putting the book down. LOL   I am now on book 3.  I wish I could watch the show but we have no cable or dish network.
The drive in the morning is so foggy you can hardly see where you are going.  Then it clears up some and we get a small amount of sunshine.



Some views from the road of the limestone that pops out and very interesting to see.  We stopped early for lunch at Cracker Barrel, will I had breakfast Joe had lunch. Then back on the road,we have about 200 miles to go.  By the time we reach London KY I am ready to be out of the truck.  I think this is the first time riding for so long has bothered me.  Sure   hope it doesn't continue.  We are staying at the Budget Host Westgate Inn & Campground.  We are the first to arrive for the day and get to pick our spot.  Luckily we were able to get a pull through.  In no time we were all set up and relaxing for a bit.  We went across the lot to  the Shiloh Roadhouse for dinner, we got it to go and came home and ate and watched a movie.  I had some decent hot wings and Joe had a very good Black and Blue burger with fires.  Again early to bed.  We don't need to get up early but are tired from the days travels. We also gained another hour, so now we are 3 hours different from AZ.  We did't get up until 7:30.  Managed to get everything put up pretty quickly then went to the Waffle House for breakfast.  Then back on the road again to Bristol TN.
