Thursday 23rd May

11 miles to the ferry over the Ohio river, then 35 miles cycling in Illinois.

Most of Illinois is flat but not the part I have to cycle through. The hills were awful- up a steep gradient for 200 ft. then down, then up again and so on. Plus a lot of traffic as it is the beginning of a big holiday weekend. I am staying at a campsite at Eddyville which is packed with horse boxes and RV's. Cassie would love it.Loads of horse riding trails.
     

I did however enjoy crossing the Ohio river. I saw a large amount of coal being transported up stream.

    Sounds like a wonderful trip so far. Aren't people kind!
    Stay away from those dry counties though:)
