This was a fairly boring day, just driving from New Jersey to Illinois, since it is too far to drive directly to South Dakota. It was muggy and foggy when I left NJ, but that cleared up after a couple of hours. Most of the drive through PA and Ohio had great weather (well, except for it being really windy in places, but it still looked nice), and no real traffic. It was rainy in Indiana, and in Illinois there were thunderstorms, and the traffic on I-90 was horrible, and probably added 30-45 minutes to my drive. There really isn't much else to say, there was nothing interesting to see, just a bunch of driving. I have uploaded a few pictures here, but they are not terribly exciting.
