- 217 miles for 5 hours and 12 min. All back roads except a few miles on I-72
Got underway at about 1000. Were worried about needing a tow since these rigs get stuck on wet grass. The campground had received a lot of rain so there was mud everywhere. But, we got out with only a moment of wheel spin.
Took state 135 to Morgantown; state 252 to 39 and then to Danville and pick up US 36. We'll be on US 36/I-72 all the way to Colorado. Only time we'll be on the interstate is when 36 and 72 merge for a few miles.
Drive was great. Love seeing the small towns and country side. Much better than the Interstates. Started to take pictures but they don't do it justice. Miles and miles of corn fields in early growth. Lots of water so they may be late.
And, we get another new state for our map!
Found a great park for only $20/night (full hookups) at the Illinois State Fairground LINK. Yeah, its a big parking lot but it is in-town, close to the Lincoln attractions, clean and beautifully landscaped, safe, full hookups, and....$20! We plan to stay here for 3, maybe 4, nights. Hear it gets full when there are agriculture activities and, of course, the state fair.
