Were on our way, Met up with the two Marks, Phoenix and bakfixer. And after topping off the tanks left the Chicago area about 10:30am Central Time.
Decided to slab as much as possible due to the horrendous weather forecast.
Moved over to a secondary Highway to get around as much rain as possible. And it worked out pretty well. Well at least until Phoenix who was on point decided to stay in the ipass lane until after the toll booth and missed the exit.
So after diverting off and then about 5 miles back from where we just were we got on the right highway and were headed south. (about a 25 min oops)
Made it down 57 and caught Rt-24 an hour or so later then east to I-65. Stopped again for gas at I-65 and a quick bite at some little dive in Remmington Ind. So back on the road for 5 hours a little light drizzle and mostly mist. Nothing too major average speed about 70 with the high about 110. Pulled into Bowling Green Ky. at 7pm.
3 Little Visions all in a row at the hotel (yes it had been raining)

(Oh yeah i think there was a pizza in there someplace too.)
Todays ride was about 500 miles , tomorrow should be about 700 into Gainesville Fla.
More from the road tomorrow...........
