Wednesday, June 18th: Day 5

Today we left our hotel and, after a confusing but scenic Garmen-directed venture, we circled back to our starting location and then entered the freeway. We passed through St. Louis, which looked surprisingly like Seattle, and saw the overflow of the Mississippi river as we passed into Illinois, through Indiana, and on to Ohio. As far as I can tell the latter three states should be lumped together into one; Illianahio. We then continued to our hotel in Dayton, OH. Other than a few cows the day (after leaving Missouri) was quite uneventful.
