Four states in 13 hours

Day one was a tour of states one may or may not ever want to drive though.

Ohio: Boring.

Indiana: Deadly.

Illinois: Hectic and with a ridiculous amount of tolls that cause serious issues.

Wisconsin: WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH WISCONSIN?! This place is madness. It begins all innocently and like Illinois, and then all of a sudden there are hills and water slides and advertisements for Dells, but no one really knows what those are.

Shelby and I realized a bit into Wisconsin that we had no idea what, exactly, the Wisconsin Dells were. I sent a text to my lovely brother, who said a series of lakes (and tubes). I did not believe this, as that would have made The Farmer in the Dell Aquaman. So, I called my father, who said valleys made from a stream. This sounded more plausible, but then we remembered we had a AAA book, which informed us that it's a giant tourist trap formed around some stupid rock formations. We passed the Dells, then immediately the crazy hit the fan and there were giant rocks sticking out of the ground and random hills in fields and what have you.


Then... Minnesota, which is pretty and all but looks pretty much like Ohio. So, basically, Wisconsin is crazy-ville. Be advised.

Got in about 6:30 Minnesota time, had dinner, and are now at Shelby's lovey friend's family's house. Huzzah!

Leaving bright and early for another 13 hours of driving. Hooray?
