O-hi-o

Today we've been in five states and two time zones. We made it to Ohio in pretty good time despite major hold ups in and around Chicago. The construction and lack of signs meant that we didn't follow the short cut along the 90 and were in fact reunited with I-80 (oh how we'd missed it after two days apart) which then took us back to our friend the I-90. We didn't have any major stops today, mostly it was just time on the road, but I think it was time well spent.

Number of Military Police hummers: 20?

Number of Military Police hummers we saw that were actually "in" camo: 1

Bug comparison: Wyoming, really big; South Dakota, pretty big; Minnesota, quite small.

Number of bugs we've taken out: roughly 2 million

You guys are taking a really weird route.

Emily,

We wanted to go see Mt. Rushmore and Gettysburg (admittedly both out of the way, but when you're spending this amount of time on the road anyway it doesn't really matter if you add a few hours here and there) and so this is the most "direct" route considering those stops.
