There's a country and western song about a "town so small you can look both ways and see it all". Well, these two towns can't even have a separate name to identify them! Actually, I think we're in Peru (at least that's what it says on water tower behind us), but everything else is identified by the both names appellation.
Yesterday we took a leisurely drive across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Didn't make much mileage because we were determined to avoid the tollways and also the traffic around Chicago. Took I-80 through the western Pennsylvania mountains and into Ohio, then we switched over to US 30 and then to US 24, finally connecting back to I-80 just west of Joiliet, IL. Kind of nice going through the small towns with their unique architecture, seeing the farms, and local industry. Also get to see the rivers and rolling countryside (but not through Indiana and Illinois - flat, flat, flat). Nice, but slow! From now on, I think we're going to stick to I-80 and make it home. Hey, only about 1800 miles to go!
