Day 9

We've covered 2254 miles on the trip.

Today we covered 314 miles from Ashland, WI to Madison. We were on the road early to beat a line of storms moving out of Minnesota and the building heat and humidity. We were able to make it a couple hundred miles under cloudy skies before we broke out into the sun, then the heat and humidity started giving us problems. Staying hydrated became a challenge. We consumed over 64 oz of water in the last 100 miles to Madison.

This has been an amazing ride.

"Red skies in morning..." We took the warning and got on the road early to beat the heat and the possibility of strong thunderstorms forecasted for later in the day.

 Loading up in Madison. It was great of the people at the Super8 Motel to let us park our car and trailer in their parking lot for a week. Not only that, they checked on it from time to time for us.
