Joliet, Joliet, wherefor Art Thou, Joliet?

Day Two finished. A harrowing day of intense rain, gusts to 60 miles-an-hour, trucks passing at 80 miles an hour creating water whiteout. When I got to Joliet, I stopped. Short of my goal by two hours and 140 miles, I knew when to call it a day. I had been very lucky. If this had been normal temperatures, this would have been a record blizzard. Keep driving those SUVs--makes my trip so much easier!

It's amazing how fast trucks drive in this weather.

Ate at Steak and Shake for dinner. I understood the median weight of 300 pounds of the clientele.

In a Budget Inn next door to a Motel 6. Pet friendly, free wireless, continental breakfast. 36 bucks.

Take a gander at one of the lighter deluges today.
