Off the Road Again

---

So my next leg was another four days of riding, but only ~275 miles this time. Elaine got me prepared by taking me to an art/wine fair the night before I left, and I has happy to oblige her. Southern IL and and KY have been nice and hilly, and forest took over what in most of IL was endless cornfields. I also got on to the Trans Am (a popular cross country route with many cyclists going coast to coast) so I ran into many other folks traveling by bike, though most were travelling west. I spent some time on a bike path off route, where I encountered loads of wildlife including some kind of wild cat (possibly a bobcat, but seemed a little smaller ~40lbs). The next few days were much the same with some small climbing and lots of scenic roads. I stayed one night on some pull off road, the next in a baptist church that was really nice and popular with TransAmers, and the last night at Rough River Dam State Park. On Tuesday afternoon I met Jeff/Jenny in Sonora, KY and we headed towards Knioxville. Last night we went to Phish in Knoxville and today we'll head to Bonnaroo.
