Three States Later...

Tuesday, Day 7

Farmland scenery in Wisconsin,
made of gently rolling hills and scattered forests

 

If we were to close our eyes right now, I’m sure we would still see an illusion of glowing white highway stripes zipping past us. Now don’t get me wrong—I like long days on the road, personally. And this is no exception: we left Minnesota just after 6:00 AM this morning, rolled our way across the states of Wisconsin and Illinois, and now are still on the highway at the time of this writing: 9:16 PM, Indiana. (Our crossing another time zone accounts for one of those hours. Various stops at box stores, gas stations and cheese factories accounts for a couple more.)

 

 

Over the course of the day we watched the scenery change
from the undulating landscape of Wisconsin...

Indiana so far seems fairly flat. Like Alberta, only with more trees. Above, the wide gray sky, hanging low over the cornfields, is growing darker and darker. The glow of my laptop has become the brightest light source in sight, save for the fluorescent road signs beside us and the taillights of the semis ahead. But dark though it may be, we still have another 20 minutes to go before reaching our hotel!

 

...To the perfectly horizontal horizons of Indiana

Well, we’re almost at Indianapolis now, and this screen is becoming blindingly bright. So I better pack up. Thanks for travelling with us! Good night for now; we’ll see you bright and early for the trek into Kentucky tomorrow. ;)
