We continue to head east. We finished packing up in the cold rain….and did we say mud? We headed off to Illinois and specifically Starving Rock State Park – Only 429kms today. Most of the travelling was on the interstate. We usually travel 60mph, but the limit was 70mph. That meant the trucks where whizzing by us quit fast. The wind also picked up.

We made it safely to our site and settled in for the night. There were not a lot of people here. The facilities at this park were also rustic. All the washrooms were pit toilets, although they had a small shower facility in each section.

Today we lucked out on the weather. It started as cold and rainy -9c. By the afternoon it was very sunny and 30c.
