Today I started a little behind the norm, as I slept in for an extra hour. I did not sleep as well as I would have liked, so I ignored the alarm! The room was not one of the better places I have experienced on this trip, and since there was no phone in the room, I did not get to submit my daily commentary. I finally did get on my way and continued east on Route 30. It was very cold again this morning, but I am getting adjusted to it!
I spent the first couple of hours getting through the traffic and cities that support the Chicago region. Finally, after crossing into Indiana, I started to get away from the majority of the traffic. I was able to see several towns enroute, and after my arrival in Ohio, was able to follow the old Lincoln Highway, as signs were posted indicating the path. I was glad the road was posted, as it provided for an interesting drive. I followed the old way until I was east of Mansfield, Ohio. The sun had set (another spectacular sunset) so I got on the new Route 30, then North on Route 77, until I reached North Canton, Ohio. My back roads tour is complete, or should I say, temporarily over. I plan on continuing back road journeys for a long time!
Routes traveled today: 30 - 77
Tomorrow I plan on spending some time with my brother and some friends. As always, thank you for visiting. Sunday, I continue my journey to New England with a visit to my sister and family in Connecticut. See you later...Igor
Hotel: Motel 6, North Canton, Ohio

Not far from New Lenox, I crossed into Indiana! |
As I said, this part of the journey involved more driving, as I actually had plans to visit family and friends, my first "scheduled" plans since my departure 23 days earlier. This is my entrance into Ohio! |
Just in case the first one did not work! |
