Day 1

After leaving behind the guys in Sarnia, the border cross was uneventful, other than the rain - and boy did it come down. All the way to Flint. The rain came at such a fast rate, I didn't have time to put on my rain suit. Later on, it got very warm, so I was happy to be a little damp.
I shot some video while going thru Chicago. "Memorial Day" weekend is a great time to travel thru Chicago - no construction. At day's end, I had logged just under 1000 kms and made it as far as Princeton, Illinois. A good start. I am motel-ling it tonight at the "Princeton Super 8". Tomorrow, on to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
