Southern Illinois















We biked past an area outside Chester that had been hit by a tornado only a week or two before.















Who knew there were hills like this in Illinois?
I hit 43 mph going down this hill, and 2.7 going up.















Coal mining is still big industry in these parts.















Sign outside Goreville: mileage to Virginia not accurate.















On the road to Cave in the Rock State Park




















More Illinois hills















The Todds from Columbus, Ohio: she began her TransAm ride in the summer of 1976 and was able to finish the few days in the middle that she missed this year. We met them in Tunnel Hill.

Don't know what route through Ohio you are using, but if you go near Bluffton I'm sure my brother and sister who live there would be delighted to put you up. They have both been very active over many years in Central American issues, and I know you'd have lots to talk about. My email jerryweaver45@sbcglobal.net.

Hi Heidi and Liz,
Glad to see you finished the trip. It was really cold the day after we met you at Tunnel Hill. Loved seeing our photo among your collection!

Hi Again,
Adventure Cycling wants to use this photo in their February issue, but neither we nor they know how to get ahold of you for permission. Also, they want a photo with higher resolution. The deadline is Jan. 19th.

Contact Greg Siple at gsiple@adventurecycling.org if you want to see your photo in the magazine and want to help them out.
