Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota!
Another "never been here" before state.
After NY I headed to Ohio. A friend from my group fo motorcycle driver awesome women friend found me a safe spot to park in Cleveland. I spent some time in lake Erie - took a nice little walk and then I headed to Illinois.
OHH yes - I found Historic Rt 20!! I kept on it all th way through Michigan but it is taking way too long so I am going to cheat and jump on the highways from here to Yellowstone . .
A friend from church procured for me a safe spot to park overnight in Chicago!! It was raining and I felt like I would need a kayak before the night was over. Now have an uncle Jim! :)
While driving through Wisconsin I stumbled into the "Cheese box" .... Bought some cheese to bring to my host's but half it was "gone" by the time I made it into Minnesota. It evaporated ... that is my story and I am sticking with it.
While staying at my friends, enjoying her hospitality we talked about many things. One of the wonderful realizations of the evening is that this trip has already taught me many things. It is also reminding me how incredibly blessed my life is. I am choosing to live out of my car. I am choosing to lead this nomadic life. Many others do not have an option. They are not able to enjoy a friend's hospitality or the pleasure of a hot long shower, a comfortable bed to sleep and a safe space to be at. I pray for those people and remind you my dear friends that we all are but a paycheck away from such hardship. Let us all be thankful for what we enjoy in our everyday life. Let us be more appreciative and be kind to others.
On to South Dakota!
