The Land of the Simpsons



"D'oh!"

We're stuck in Springfield, IL! There are storms all around us, lightning crashing down, rolling thunder for minutes at a time ... Ahhh! It's crazy! We're a little stuck ... trapped by storms all around at a motel 6 ... at least they left that light on! haha ... ok not really. It's exciting to see and hear these crazy storms, as its been so long since we've both seen an amazing lightning storm.

The weather out here is so outta whack! We'll be driving along then all of sudden you see the storm right in front of you, and then BAM! it's right on top of you. Crazy rain that makes driving very iffy. We hydro-planed for a second, long enough to just be like, "ehhh, ok maybe I will pull over next time." I am confident in my driving but you never can mess with something as fierce as a raging storm banging on your car.

So with Springfield come and gone, we are going to a crazy state park called the Johnson Shut-Ins. A recommendation by Joe, and it looks like a great time for some swimming and rock diving!

Miles travelled : around 6000 ! ahhh !
