Day 39, Illinois to Ohio

Day 39 was not about sightseeing, it was all about driving.  As such, there are not many photos .  Did I hear a collective sigh of relief? We left Illinois at about 9:30 a.m. heading the wrong direction once again and had to turn around, my fault.  It took about an hour to get to Indiana,

and another three hours to get to Ohio

because traffic was ridiculously bad from Indianapolis, Indiana to Columbus, Ohio.

Tomorrow will hopefully be the final leg of the trip and I will be posting from home!

Babs Says:  What a trip!!!  I cannot pick out a favorite part.  The scenery-the Great Plains of Canada and the US, the Canadian Rockies, the Alaskan Range, glaciers, rain forests, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, the wildlife-bear bison, birds, fish, elk, deer.  The people-A lady who drove out of her way to lead us to our B&B, the unsociable trapper/restaurant owner who made the greatest bacon and eggs, a Dakota Indian teen telling us about the Wounded Knee massacre, the RV'ers staying with the injured cyclist who had hit the bear, Katy & Jason with us in Washington State. All so memorable.  Our biggest disappointment was probably the food and the fact that the Alaskan Highway was so "normal".  Now we need to get home, do laundry, see our children and grand children, friends, relive the trip & plan the next one (after counting any remaining money)
