6/5/2010 GIT: Day 2: 73 miles

Joliet to Oglesby, Il. Muddy trails, tornadoes, thunderstorms, route detour, flat tire, broken shifter. Other than that we are having a blast! Today's route was nearly all rough trail surface running alongside an old canal. Saw so many animals, including 4 deer and a snapping turtle named Mel Gibson. The end of the night started after someone drove by us and yelled, "There's a tornado coming!"
