Day 3 - Dry Ridge, KT to Iowa City, IA



We left Dry Ridge, Kentucky before 8 am passing through Ohio on I-80. We then went into Indiana and stopped at a rest area for a nice lunch.Most of the day was rainy and cloudy. After traveling through 5 states and  over 500 miles we spent the night at another Walmart in Iowa City, Iowa. We made 5 states and 500 miles! What a day!  Not to knock any state, but Indiana and Illinois need to go back to school on how to build (maintain) an interstate highway.  Ole Ike would not be happy if he had to drive or land a plane on these interstates.  We saw gas prices in Illinois at $4.25 for regular and Indiana they were also in the $4.00 range.  In fact we filled up in Indiana and had to pay $4.09 for 89 octane. This station did not sell 87 octane.

Indiana welcome sign...









Welcome to Illinois and the high gas prices.  At first we thought those must be the sub prices.











Making time... Houston was in town to play the Reds, but we just kept going and going and going... These long days have me starting to feel like an energized Bunny?

Supporting the Midwest, another stop for GAS...
