A few nice rooling hills out of Farmington heading toward the mississippi. As well as these there was also a few 'Ole Glory' flags flying high. Then the hills opened to a large flood plain approaching the river. Would like to have gotten a photo on the bridge, but with a huge truck and trailer up my tail, i said i'd let it go. Some powerful looking river crossing over it though. Then it was into Chester, the home of popeye, or at least it's creator.
Never realised there were so many vineyards in Illinois. Looked like a nice place to relax and enjoy a few bottles overlooking the countryside, but it would not have suited the cycling too well, or carrying the bottles with me is also out with extra weight, so it'll have to wait. Of course the day was strarted with a good breakfast in Murphysboro, just for the name.
Enjoyed my short trip across the Ohio river on the ferry, as i left Illinois behind me at Cave in rock (you'll never guess what's there) and arrived into Kentucky.
