Last weekend I went from Tell City, Indiana, to Mount Vernon, Illinois, via mostly 2 lane highways. In Indiana the highway was SR 66. In Kentucky, the highways were SR 69, US 60, SR 56, SR 132, SR 109, SR 91, US 41A, SR 120, SR 138 and SR 81. In Illinois the highways were SR 1, SR 146, SR 34, Sr 149, and SR 37. I also took a short ride into Missouri on US 62 for gas. Some of the high points were I took a Ferry across the Ohio River from around Marion, KY, to Cave In Rock IL, crossed the Mississippi River at Cairo, IL, and crossed the Cumberland River somewhere in far Western Kentucky (forgot were it was near now). The direct route would have been around 300 miles round trip. I made it into a 587 mile round trip, almost doubling the normal distance. I did spend the night at the halfway point though. The entire trip took around 17 hours just running the speed limit and stopping at whatever interested me.
