6-18 Thursday

Sebree, KY to Golconda, IL - 89.2 miles
Another day of roasting temperatures during our last day in Kentucky. I was ready to leave quite frankly. I had enough dog chases and coal trucks to last a life time. Western Kentucky helped to make up for my overall image of the state. It was neat to ride through Elizabethtown, where my father, brother and co. stay every year for the Derby. Had biscuts & gravy at the halfway mark to carry me the rest of the way. We crossed the Ohio River at what we thought was to be the end of the day in the city of Cave in Rock.

After a milkshake and a burger at the local cafe, we decided to go another 23 miles to Golconda to their public park. Those 23 miles were probably just as difficult as the entire day before. It's so drainging to be in that heat. It was a struggle to even sleep that night for how humid it was. The park was cool, it was beside a river.
