The Ozark hills continued, but got smaller as we approached Illinois. We crossed the Mississippi and took the alternate route to Murphysboro, which had less hills. Then we decided to take another shortcut off the alternate to cut off at least 5 miles. (2/4 successful shortcuts) After a quick stop in Murphysboro, we took hwy 13 (3/5 shortcuts) to Carbondale to meet my dad's cousin Cary for dinner. We ended up at a motel as it got dark and we ran out of free alternatives. I ran over a piece of glass that popped a hole in my tire and tube this afternoon, so we're headed to the bike shop in the morning for a new tire. We should be at the Kentucky border tomorrow night, if not in Kentucky.
