Tough night last night. Slept in a rest area and all night my stomach was killing me! Didn't quite feel right heading out in the rain and darkness by myself since this was a busy rest area near chicago, so I woke poor Reuben up around 3am for a security escourt. Ugh, hate being sick on the road. Slept while Reuben drove the first 1/2 of the day and felt much better by early afternoon. Finally crossed the great Mississippi river. Officially in the East. Stopped at a truck stop after Indianapolis and showered. Oooooo buddy I was never so happy for a shower! Made it to New Castle, Indiana, the birthplace of the infamous Reuben J Jones. Hung out with Jones-y's uncle Rod & Danny, his aunts Ellen and Ruth, cousin Kendra, and of course his grandma Frost.
