In Diana jones and the temple of poon.



Some awful pics today, yuck.
I left the shit shack at about ten o'clock in the morning to grab coffee and breakfast. I was moving slow this morning due to the after effects of the whiskey. After gassing up it was off to Indianapolis. People stopped driving well, sitting in the left lane always, well not as bad as Wisconsin/Minnesota. Even worse than that were the roads. Just awful. From the miles of replaced tar that was uneven with the existing cement to the pot holes across a whole lane. Nearly every bridge after Indianapolis had rough patches before and after. I hit a pot hole that was so bad that my suspension bottomed out and I thought the pegs were coming up through my feet. There were spots the were about 8x8 inches that were cut out and not replaced. Whenever I tried to look around another rough section came up. The first stop today was just south of Indianapolis in some backwards town where tons of people were zipping around shirtless on scooters, a lot of panhandlers, and just weirdness. I sat around just people watching for a decent amount of time. North of Indianapolis the road got purdy with trees and rivers for a ways until all that cleared up and I entered farmland. There were a lot of trucks and a lot of wind. I was pretty uncomfortable.  Came across a wind farm, what a site that was, it just went on forever. 100 miles later I was in Chicago. What a town. I got there at 4 and traffic through the city was awful. I traveled alongside lake shore drive or something, the cool breeze was refreshing. People were at the beach and must have been freezing.  I don't know how people get around down there. A google car passed me as I went over a bridge. I think it was on grand? I wanted a Chicago dog, and it took me forever to get to superdawg, an old drive in food joint off of Milwaukee in the north side. The area was very 50's styled and I enjoyed it. After foodin up I figured I could make it to Milwaukee before dark. So I did! A lot of old buildings I like it. I'm going to maybe try to get breakfast at fuel cafe in the north part of town and the Harley museum in the center if it isn't too rainy, otherwise I'll just head out.
