Day 17 - 80.20 Miles
Kentucky Fried Thighs
Golconda, ILLINOIS!!!
We started our day with some magical tailwinds. These were the type of tail winds that make you stop thinking in tenths-of-a-mile, and start thinking in tens of miles; the type of tail winds that make you think Kentucky wants you out as much as you want out of Kentucky; the type of tail winds that make you think, "uh oh, if I fart, I'm gonna smell if for the next five minutes"; the type of tail winds that...ok, you get it. They carried us basically to the Ohio River, where we took a ferry across to Illinois. We spotted several deer - "get outta here, deer" - on the way to our awesome campground. It wasn't awesome because it had showers or laundry - it didn't - it was awesome because we were the only ones there and camped on a bluff overlooking the River. There was also ample firewood, so we didn't need each others bodies for warmth.
