2025 Late-Summer Road Trip - Day 23-of-35 - September 5, 2025

Friday, Sept. 5, 2025 - Dropped off Wendy at The Airport, then East through Illinois/Indiana/Kentucky - 434 miles ending up at Super 8 Carrollton, KY:

An early-morning dropoff at The Airport:

It is always iconic crossing the Mississippi River:

I know, I know - "The Road Goes On Forever"; but sometimes THE ROAD JUST ENDS:

In case you don't notice it, this nothing-road has a speed-limit of 55 MILES PER HOUR:

This is Mr. Moose's first time in the front seat in 10 days, and he is busy making himself comfortable:

Nothing is as American as a School-Bus-stopping-at-a-railroad-crossing:

Cool "bridge shot" going over the Ohio River into Kentucky:

Checked-in at 8 PM (but I think I lost a Time-Zone-Hour) - 434 miles today (and 30 Post Offices):

This is what they looked like:

I like the "Traditional Style" of 62930 - Eldorado, IL:

But I'm REALLY NOT A FAN of the "Brutalist Style" of 62817 - Broughton, IL - at least they have a sign:

Thank you God for another wonderful Adventure Day, letting me chew up these miles!

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes, now
That's what you get for waking up in Vegas
