June 3, 2012 -- Buckeye Lake, OH, to Chebanse, IL

We drove pretty much straight through from Ohio to Illinois today, relying on GPS to take us the shortest way. Know though, that “shortest” roads may not be “widest” ... About 30 miles of our trip was on narrow country roads, through cornfields and tiny towns. Beautiful, green, interesting, and most definitely NOT interstates. We're staying in a lovely, quiet campground that's nestled in a clump of trees in the midst of miles and miles and MILES of corn. (Arrow on this map points to our campground.)



To recap: This is pretty much what Illinois looks like, if you're not in Chicago:
